  In her study, Adriana Michele Campos Johnson offers a close examination of nation building and the silencing of other voices through the reenvisioning of history. Looking primarily to Euclides da Cunha's Os Sertoes, which has become the defining - and nearly exclusive - account of the conflict, she maintains that the events and people of Canudos have been sentenced to history by this work.
