O Cabeleira (English: Cabeleira) is an 1876 novel by Brazilian Romantic author Franklin Távora. Set in Pernambuco, during the 18th century, the novel tells the story of the cangaceiro José Gomes (a.k.a. "Cabeleira") and his father Joaquim, and their adventures at the sertão of the Brazilian Northeast. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur.
