Açaí Extraction Work: a study on Combú Island - Belém/PA

Extractivist work in the Amazon has represented and continues to represent, over time, its condition of insertion into the great economic circles, not only of the internal interfaces of the economic question, but mainly of the phases of accumulation of primitive capital for its global actions of the great European metropolises, during the period of feudal-capitalist transition. The proposed study aims to bring reflections that surrounded all these stages, in the midst of the Amazon context and through the interfaces verified in the 16th - 20th centuries, reflecting mainly the importance of açaí, through the circles and archetypes of production in the Amazon region in the local market; in the city of Belém in the state of Pará.
