An interdisciplinary analysis of the process of frontier change in one region of the Brazilian Amazon, the southern portion of the state of Pará.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
The story told in this book is about an unlikely cast of characters (ranchers, peasants, loggers, Indians, goldminers, rubber farmers, and various bureaucrats and investors) who set in motion a sequence of events that forever changed the social and physical landscape of the Brazilian Amazon. The authors show how deforestation, m settlement patterns and the intensity of rural violence were out-comes of the competition for resources among social groups capable of mobilizing varying degrees of power.
