Resum

After a spirited economic performance before the Great War, as well as an unstable evolutionof trade and extracting activities during the war, the Amazon basin continued its pathof trade, life, and transport. The new economic frontiers opened the dynamic structure oftransport and life networks beyond some occasional commodity boom. This article tries toexplain the relevance of Amazon ports during the 1920s in a multi-scale analysis perspective.First, the trade and transport networks between principal ports, and secondly, life, trade,and transport around these ports and their connections with other places. The empiricalfindings ask for rethinking the dynamics of the Amazon basin, especially on different scalesabout trade, capital, and transport networks.
