Resumo: | This paper analyzes colonization projects and schemes that aimed to connect two remote regions in South America: the northern Brazilian Amazonia and the British colony of Guyana, during the transition from the late nineteenth century to the early twentieth century. The central problem is to understand projects designed to break or reduce remoteness and create cross-border connections (infrastructure, social and commercial linkages) that would cross societies and markets in different crisis scenarios, and to question the extent to which the ‘decadence’ denounced by contemporaries was a conjunctural element within long-term structural dependencies that cannot be solely attributed to competitiveness, mechanization limitations, or production rationalization. This study adopts a diachronic historical approach to examine three key aspects: (1) the challenges posed by the prolonged dominance of sugar monoculture in British Guyana and the concurrent rubber boom in the Brazilian Amazonia; (2) the interrelated matters of circulation and labor scarcity; and (3) the persistent issue of food shortages amid the setbacks encountered by integration endeavors. |

O problema central é compreender projetos concebidos para quebrar ou reduzir o remoto e criar conexões transfronteiriças (infraestruturais, sociais e comerciais), que cruzariam sociedades e mercados, em diferentes cenários de crise, e questionar em que medida a ‘decadência’ denunciada pelos contemporâneos foi um elemento conjuntural dentro de dependências estruturais de longo prazo, as quais não podem ser explicadas simplesmente em termos de competitividade, de falta de mecanização ou de racionalização da produção. Este texto aborda três pontos sob uma abordagem histórica diacrônica: (1) os problemas em torno da longa permanência da monocultura de açúcar na Guiana Britânica de um lado, e o boom da borracha na Amazônia brasileira, de outro; (2) a questão conexa da circulação e falta de mão de obra; (3) em finalmente, a permanência da escassez de alimentos diante do fracasso dos projetos de integração. Este artículo analiza proyectos y planes de colonización que tenían como objetivo conectar dos regiones remotas de Sudamérica: el norte de la Amazonia brasileña y la colonia británica de Guyana, entre finales del siglo XIX y principios del siglo XX. El problema central es comprender las iniciativas diseñadas para superar o reducir el aislamiento geográfico y establecer conexiones transfronterizas (incluyendo aspectos de infraestructura, sociales y comerciales). Asimismo, se cuestiona hasta qué punto la “decadencia”, denunciada por los contemporáneos, representaba un elemento coyuntural dentro de dependencias estructurales a largo plazo que no pueden explicarse únicamente en términos de competitividad, limitaciones, mecanización o racionalización de la producción. Este estudio aborda tres puntos desde un enfoque histórico diacrónico: (1) los desafíos relacionados con la prolongada predominancia del monocultivo de azúcar en la Guayana británica, por un lado, y el auge del caucho en la Amazonia brasileña por otro; (2) la cuestión interrelacionada a la circulación y la escasez de mano de obra; y (3) por último, la persistente problemática de la escasez de alimentos en medio de los contratiempos sufridos por los proyectos de integración.Universidade Estadual do Maranhão2024-01-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion"Avaliado pelos pares", "artigo de covidados"application/pdfhttps://www.outrostempos.uema.br/index.php/outros_tempos_uema/article/view/113510.18817/ot.v21i37.1135Outros Tempos: Pesquisa em Foco - História; v. 21 n. 37 (2024): Dossiê: Especial 20 anos; 197-2261808-803110.18817/ot.v21i37reponame:Outros temposinstname:Universidade Estadual do Maranhão (UEMA)instacron:UEMAenghttps://www.outrostempos.uema.br/index.php/outros_tempos_uema/article/view/1135/1006https://www.outrostempos.uema.br/index.php/outros_tempos_uema/article/view/1135/1007Copyright (c) 2024 ROMÁRIO SAMPAIO BASÍLIOhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBASÍLIO, ROMÁRIO SAMPAIO2024-01-31T20:10:13Zoai:ojs2.outrostempos.uema.br:article/1135Revistahttp://www.outrostempos.uema.br/PUBhttps://www.outrostempos.uema.br/index.php/outros_tempos_uema/oaioutrostempos_revista@yahoo.com.br1808-80311808-8031opendoar:2024-01-31T20:10:13Outros tempos - Universidade Estadual do Maranhão (UEMA)false |
