Abstract

The article, regarding which the title suggests some Brazil among the others, aims to call attention to a neglected reading in illustrating a Brazilian identity.It is in the search for the original conformation of a people and a culture - related to environments that are too particular, taking into account the different Brazilian geography - that the present lines are followed.From the uncommon denominators, the basilar tripod developed by Euclides da Cunha has been assumed, whatever it may be, the European, the autochthonous and the African.In this panorama, with the events of relativism, the Brazilian sociocultural identity is sought, already free from a culture of borrowing, although already eternally marked by the stigma of Caliban.
