Abstract(s)
"As Drogas do Sertão e a Amazônia Colonial Portuguesa" busca situar, no quadro da reflexão historiográfica sobre a América portuguesa, a temática das drogas do sertão – termo que englobava gêneros como o cacau, o cravo-de-casca, a salsaparrilha e o óleo de copaíba –, cuja exploração marcou a economia e a sociedade do mundo amazônico português ao longo do período colonial. Numa perspectiva mais ampla, trata-se, igualmente, de repensar o lugar da própria Amazônia no debate sobre a construção da América portuguesa. Nesse sentido, os capítulos aqui publicados, escritos por especialistas da e sobre a Amazônia, abordam vários eixos de reflexão sobre esta temática, que estruturam a organização deste livro: as primeiras notícias e intentos de exploração, as diversas formas de extração e obtenção desses gêneros, as suas dinâmicas fiscais e comerciais e, finalmente, as formas de interação e de produção de conhecimento relacionadas com esses produtos. Assim, a obra revela quão complexa era a economia das drogas do sertão, e as dinâmicas territoriais, culturais e de trabalho que engendrou, permitindo também compreender a sua transformação ao longo do tempo.
"Drogas do Sertão e a Amazônia Colonial Portuguesa" seeks to situate, within the framework of historiographical reflection on Portuguese America, the theme of the drugs of the sertão - a term that encompassed genres such as cocoa, "cravo-de-casca", sarsaparilla and copaiba oil - whose exploitation marked the economy and society of the Portuguese Amazon world throughout the colonial period. From a broader perspective, it is also a question of rethinking the place of the Amazon itself in the debate on the construction of Portuguese America. In this sense, the chapters published here, written by specialists from and about the Amazon, address various axis of thought on this theme, which structure the organization of this book: the first informations and attempts of explotation, the various ways of extracting and obtaining these commodities, their fiscal and commercial dynamics and, finally, the forms of interaction and production of knowledge related to these products. In this way, the work reveals how complex the drugs of sertão economy was, and the territorial, cultural and labor dynamics it engendered, while also allowing us to understand its transformation over time.
