From the concept of “insurgent geographies”, I discuss how maritime work was shaped by people of different ethnic-racial backgrounds, during the reorganization of the worlds of labor in the Amazon, especially in the provinces of Pará and Amazonas, in the years after the end of Cabanagem (1835-1840).
