  • French Reaction to the Menace from Cabanos and Bonis Within the Litigious Territory Between Brazil and French Guiana (1836-1841)1
    125 French reaction to the menace from Cabanos and Bonis within the litigious territory between Brazil and French Guiana (1836-1841)1 Reação francesa às ameaças de Cabanos e Bonis no território litigioso do Amapá (1836-1841) DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/2236-463320161408 Débora Bendocchi Alves Instituto de História Ibérica e Latinoamericana (IHILA) Faculdade de História da Universidade de Colônia, Colônia, Alemanha [email protected] Abstract: This article will analyze an historical episode that occurred between 1836 and 1841 during the French occupation of the disputed territory located between Brazil and French Guiana. I intend to consider two regional factors that influenced the decision of both the Cayenne Government and the metropolitan government to build military forts in the region. Such factors are the Cabanagem and the attempts of black Bonis to settle in Lower Oiapoque. I will go on to show that the French withdrawal from Amapá Lake in 1840, but not from the post on the right bank of the Oiapoque River, was due not only to international and diplomatic factors but also had regional causes. Notwithstanding the French government's interests in expanding the territory of its South American colony, I want to draw attention to the threats - real or fictitious - of Cabanos, from Brazil, and black Bonis, from Dutch Guiana. 1 This article forms part of a research project funded by Gerda Henkel Foundation (Germany) about the region of the French-Brazilian Boarding between 1840-1900. It is a revised and extended version of my participation at the ANPUH 2015 XXVIII National History Symposium, held in Florianópolis.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract This study demonstrates how Indians with French citizenship were able through their stay in Indochina to have some say in shaping their position within the French colonial empire, and how in turn they made then' mark on Indochina itself. Known as ‘renouncers’, they gained their citizenship by renoimcing their personal laws in order to to be judged by the French civil code. Mainly residing in Cochinchina, they served primarily as functionaries in the French colonial administration, and spent the early decades of their stay battling to secure recognition of their electoral and civil rights in the colony. Their presence in Indochina in turn had an important influence on the ways in which the peoples of Indochina experienced and assessed French colonialism.

E-mail: [email protected] Arnaud-Dominique Houte https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2174-9312 Sorbonne Université, France. E-mail: [email protected] “Aqui começa o Brasil”: penal colonization, territorialization and border construction of the Oyapock river. 1853-1927 Abstract: The Oyapock River has been the border between France and Brazil since the Treaty of Bern came to resolve a centuries-old dispute between the two states. Only populated by indigenous communities and a few adventurers, the two banks of the river are untouched by any lasting colonial and national settlement before the second half of the 19th century. Penal colonization is the formula adopted by the two states to fill the "void" of a border to be formalized. The criminal models circulate and are reinterpreted by participating with great intensity in the making of the territory. Key words: Oyapock; Penal Colonies; Frontiers; Territorialization; Modernity. “Aqui começa o Brasil”: colonización penal, territorialización y fronterización del río Oyapock. 1853-1927 Resumen: El río Oyapock ha sido la frontera entre Francia y Brasil desde que el Tratado de Berna resolvió una disputa centenaria entre los dos estados. Solo pobladas por comunidades indígenas y algunos aventureros, las dos orillas de lo río no han sido tocadas por ningún asentamiento colonial y nacional duradero antes de la segunda mitad del siglo XIX.
