In the early 17th century, Dutch agents carried out commercial activities along the rivers of the Portuguese Amazon, which did not align with the geopolitical interests of the Spanish and Portuguese authorities in the region. In Portuguese documentation, the Dutch were portrayed as “pirates,” “smugglers,” and “heretics.” However, many of those who traveled to the farthest reaches of the rainforest were respected merchants in Europe who saw an opportunity for profit in the peripheral regions of the Hispanic Empire.

In the early 17th century, Dutch agents carried out commercial activities along the rivers of the Portuguese Amazon, which did not align with the geopolitical interests of the Spanish and Portuguese authorities in the region. In Portuguese documentation, the Dutch were portrayed as “pirates,” “smugglers,” and “heretics.” However, many of those who traveled to the farthest reaches of the rainforest were respected merchants in Europe who saw an opportunity for profit in the peripheral regions of the Hispanic Empire. The trading post system was not only used to bring Amazonian products to world markets but also connected the Indians of Maranhão and Grão-Pará with the financial circuits of Dutch cities. The objective of this text is to examine the exchanges between Amazon Indians and northern European commercial networks during theIberian union, a period often referred to as “Dutch Brazil.” ; A principios del siglo XVII, agentes holandeses llevaron a cabo actividades comerciales a lo largo de los ríos de la Amazonía portuguesa, actividades que no servían a los intereses geopolíticos de las autoridades españolas y portuguesas en la región. En la documentación portuguesa, los holandeses son descritos como “piratas”, “contrabandistas” y “herejes”. Sin embargo, muchos de los que viajaron a los confines más remotos de la selva eran comerciantes respetados en Europa que vieron una oportunidad de lucro en las regiones periféricas del Imperio hispánico. El sistema de puestos comerciales no se utilizó solo para exportar productos amazónicos a los mercados mundiales, sino que también conectó a los indígenas de Maranhão y Grão-Pará con los circuitos financieros de las ciudades holandesas. El objetivo de este texto es examinar los intercambios entre los nativos amazónicos y las redes comerciales del norte de Europa durante la unión ibérica, un periodo que a menudo se refiere en la historiografía brasileña como el “Brasil holandés”. ; No início do século XVII, agentes holandeses realizavam atividades comerciais ao longo dos rios ...
