Por uma história da Amazônia no centro do mundo

The interview, conducted on August 19, 2025, the emblematic date on which National Historian's Day is celebrated, constitutes a valuable intellectual testimony by Professor Francivaldo Alves Nunes, president of the National History Association (ANPUH) for the 2025-2027 biennium. He is the first Black historian from the North Region to assume the presidency of ANPUH in the organization's more than half a century of existence. He is a professor at the Federal University of Pará (UFPA) and in the Graduate Programs in Social History of the Amazon (UFPA) and in History Teaching (UFPA/Ananindeua). Throughout the interview, intellectual Francivaldo Nunes shares a formative and existential journey intertwined with teaching practice, interspersed with profound reflections on the meanings and challenges of the historian's profession in the 21st century, with an emphasis on Amazonian studies and the issues that permeate the Social History of the Amazon, highlighting the importance and pioneering work of the PPGHIST/UFPA in placing the Amazon at the center of Brazilian historiographical studies. Finally, the interview unfolds into a vigorous defense of the legacy of ANPUH's 65th anniversary. This is, therefore, an interview of analytical depth, articulating intellectual memory, political-academic engagement, and the substantive contributions of the History of the Amazon to the New Contemporary Brazilian Historiography
