Changing Narratives of Race and Environment in the Nineteenth-Century and Early-Twentieth-Century Brazilian Amazon
The Amazon has been the object of numerous reflections upon the relationship between the natural environment and the categories of human society. This article analyses Brazilian writers who considered the relations between space and race over the course of the nineteenth century and early twentieth century. It focuses on João Henrique de Mattos, José Veríssimo and Euclides da Cunha, placing them in relation to each other and within local, nationa…
Makers and Keepers of Networks: Amerindian Spaces, Migrations, and Exchanges in the Brazilian Amazon and French Guiana, 1600-1730

This chapter examines specific trade legislation issued by the crown to control the trade in Panama between 1700 and 1750. The crown's main objective was to reduce contraband and increase tax collection. The Panamanian cases discussed in the chapter shows that local authorities and others referred to different bodies of law to defend their own interests, which were not always the 'just' resolution of the dispute. Moreover, the cases also show tha…
