  • Garfield, Seth in Search of the Amazon: Brazil, the United States, and the Nature of a Region
    Garfield, Seth In Search of the Amazon: Brazil, the United States, and the Nature of a Region Regina Horta Duarte* Durham: Duke University Press, 2014. 343p. Nas primeiras páginas de seu livro In Search of the Amazon, Seth Gar- field evoca os antigos relatos de exploradores – narrativas emocionantes de jornadas hercúleas – para apresentar sua própria empreitada de anos de in- vestigação sobre a Amazônia. As narrativas antigas de viagens às quais o autor alude, entretanto, representavam o meio tropical por meio de identi- dades bem estabelecidas e contrapostas ao mundo europeu, fundando mitos e firmando preconceitos. Diferentemente, estamos agora diante de uma re- finada reflexão histórica que nos incita a questionar o que sabemos sobre a Amazônia. Com ele palmilhamos – página a página – as trilhas construídas no passado por diversos atores históricos, continuamente refeitas e redire- cionadas no jogo dos enfrentamentos sociais e políticos. Munido de minu- ciosa pesquisa documental e disposto a trilhar territórios inexplorados, Garfield desmonta armadilhas de pretensas identidades, conceitos e repre- sentações arraigadas. Demonstra como a busca bem-sucedida de uma essên- cia da Amazônia implica a conclusão de que ela não tem essência alguma, pois é lugar historicamente produzido em intricadas relações sociais de es- calas locais, regionais, nacionais e globais. Com guia tão perspicaz, torna-se uma aventura intelectual estimulante adentrar a floresta. Garfield integra a melhor estirpe de historiadores, pois, como disse Marc Bloch (s.d., p.28), “onde fareja a carne humana, sabe que ali está sua caça”. O tema da exploração da borracha na Amazônia brasileira no período do Estado Novo conduz o livro.
