About cangaço
Cangaço was a movement of social banditry that plagued the northeastern region of Brazil from the late 19th century to the early decades of the 20th century. The region, at that time, was ravaged by a historic drought and harbored a population suffering from poverty. The cangaceiros saw banditry as a way to escape poverty and the tyranny of the “coronéis”, powerful landowners who imposed their law across the sertão. The violence, aesthetics, and thorny vegetation of the caatinga – a biome unique to the planet –, complete the exotic scenario that has been fascinating authors in literature, cinema, and comics for decades.
