Abstract

This article aims to contribute to the understanding of representations of indigenous peoples in the Amazon region. Based on a theory of border, we attempt to break with a generalising historical description, pointing out the diverse preliminaries, narratives and regimes that have distinguished the historical trajectory of authochthonous populations in the Amazon region up to the present day. In so doing, we attempt to identify the tangible processes whereby authochthonous populations interacted with the colonial context and were integrated into the Brazilian nation and the global economy.
