SUMMARY:

The aim of this dissertation is to explain the process of wood production in the Lower Amazon river during the second half of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century, highlighting the indispensable role of indigenous work and knowledge in all stages of this process, which involved the recognition, extraction, logging and transportation of this raw material in the interior of Grão-Pará and between that State and Lisbon. In the wake of the theoretical framework of Amazonian history and the new indigenous history, this work is fundamentally dedicated to understanding how the extraction of different species of wood took place, its main purposes and the political environment in which production took place. It also intends to understand the impact that the systematic manufacture of wood had on the social conformations of colonial Grão-Pará, taking into account the labor employed and the importance that wood and its productives logics assumed in the domestic and foreign markets.
