“…Yet, little is known about the role of the episcopate in this process. The only study addressing the issue is a work by Francisco Cancela, which focuses on the installation and administration of indigenous parishes as a reinforcement of the territorialisation process experienced by Amerindian peoples in the captaincy of Porto Seguro, without extending his analysis to the rest of the archdiocese of Bahia (Cancela 2021).…”

The second half of the eighteenth century is crucial to understanding the significant role of the Catholic Church in the many transformations experienced by indigenous peoples due to the policies of the Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo (Marquis of Pombal) administration in Portuguese America. No study has yet to examine in depth the collaboration of the episcopate and its agents in this indigenist policy. Here, therefore, I analyse the case of the diocese of Maranhão, in the Portuguese Amazon, from its creation in 1677 until the end of the eighteenth century, demonstrating the jurisdictional dispute between the bishops and the regular clergy over the guardianship of indigenous peoples. I also examine how the appointment of clergy in former indigenous villages took place and how the diocesan structure was expanded to ensure the consolidation of Pombal’s policy amid disputes between diverse actors and interests, including those of the Portuguese state, the bishops and the indigenous population. By analysing a variety of documents using research methodologies that involve varying the scale of observation and pursuing a connected history perspective, I show how the episcopate behaved, despite its limitations and vacancies, in the process of assimilating indigenous peoples.

Resumo No limiar do século XIX, a vila de Ilhéus experimentou mudanças em seu perfil econômico, movendo-se gradativamente de uma economia voltada ao abastecimento interno a uma economia de exportação. A nova feição regional estava inserida no contexto da recuperação econômica baiana experimentada entre o final do século XVIII e o início do século XIX, momento no qual Ilhéus passa a investir em açúcar, café e cacau. O projeto de dinamização econômica destinado a Ilhéus dependia, entretanto, da construção de caminhos que conectassem a vila com diferentes regiões, assim como do controle e do uso do trabalho indígena. Nesse contexto, a estrada Ilhéus-Vitória e o aldeamento de Ferradas, localizados no eixo sudoeste desta região, impuseram-se como estabelecimentos centrais ao sucesso dos projetos públicos e privados direcionados a Ilhéus. Analiso, neste texto, os mecanismos utilizados por alguns agentes públicos coloniais a fim de realizar o projeto de dinamização econômica destinado a Ilhéus no início do oitocentos, bem como a conciliação elaborada por eles entre os interesses do Estado e suas próprias perspectivas de ganhos naquela situação histórica.
