| description | This paper proposes a new reading "against the grain" of the events related with the founding of the Brazil colony in the sixteenth century, interpreting them from the perspective of the establishment of Portuguese domination of the indigenous peoples of the Atlantic coast of South America. With a historiography approach, it provides a critical review of colonial categories, reified images and interpretations about the Indians and Brazil, dismantling a narrative structure that prevents the understanding of the facts at the time of their occurrence and hampers current scientific research in Anthropology and History. This review of the past allows to place in a different light those processes oriented towards domination and control of new lands and populations, indicating, on a long-term perspective, the crucial role that inner frontier expansion plays for the construction of the country, and for the definition of their practices and administrative categories and self-understanding. Understanding the contemporary indigenous mobilizations and ethnogenesis processes currently registered in the Brazilian Northeast are a crucial source of inspiration for the historiography exercise conducted here. |
