Resumo

Sweeping economic and political changes occurred in the Brazilian municipality of Itupiranga, Pará, in the 1970s and 1980s. Former subsistence-oriented resource use patterns employed by local caboclos collapsed as newcomer social groups, who had the backing of local, state and federal policies, implemented new profit-oriented schemes. Although local caboclos no longer carried out former economic activities, they had an Amazonian worldview that was quite critical of the ways in which other groups utilized resources.
