ON A Saturday night in Canudos, a town of 15,000 people in the interior of Bahia state surrounded on all sides by parched, silvery forest, there is a lot of consumption going on. Everyone has a mobile phone, a few people have new cars, and early-evening courting is fuelled by branded beers and hot dogs. This place was once a byword for poverty, sitting as it does in the middle of Brazil’s drylands. But this part of the sertão at least has become more bearable over the past decade or so. There is a large banana plantation that provides jobs, a fresh-water-fishing industry and plenty of commerce. Carlinhos Silveira has returned to Canudos after some time spent working in São Paulo and now runs a small hotel. For decades internal migration in Brazil worked in the opposite direction, as people escaped the hardscrabble north-east for menial jobs in the more prosperous south and south-east. Now it is possible to find members of Brazil’s burgeoning middle class even here.
