EN

The article overviews the genesis of the Brazilian War of Canudos and tries to shed some light upon Euclides da Cunhaʼs way of fighting the scientific racism that condemned Brasil as a country of unbounded miscigenation. Starting from Gumplowitzʼs theory of „historic race“, Euclides da Cunha shows that the autochtonous inhabitants of sertão, separated from the coast as it was, actually did not form a hybrid and unstable race with Portuguese colonists, but a “living rock of Brazilian race”.
