| Abstract | |
This work aims to analyze the conflicts that took place in Grão-Pará between 1821 and 1825, considering the problem around state´s formation and Brazilian nation´s formation. Studying such conflicts and the incorporation of Grão-Pará´s province to the Empire - a complicated process - helps to modify an usual idea: the one that says that Brazilian state building is characterized as something pacific and simple, conducted by an elite´s agreement. Without taking this process´ ending (the incorporation of Grão-Pará´s province to the Empire) as the only one possible, we´ve studied the political instability at that province, product of a great number of political parties, each one claiming for its own plans to put an end to the crisis at that moment. We have also examined the reasons that made none of those parties concentrate the political power in Grão-Pará from 1821 to 1825. Actually, this scenery made the conflicts in Grão-Pará persist for a long time. It also brings up the importance of studying violence as an instrument for politics actions. (AU) | |
