Abstract
What I intend to emphasize in this text is the presence of enslaved Africans in the manufacture of wood, in the Captaincy of Grao-Para, mainly at the end of the 18th century, when the effects of the intensification of trafficking in African captives to the region were already felt, through the activities of the General Trading Company of Grao-Para and Maranhao. Based on the documentation of the Overseas Historical Archive and the Public Archive of Para, a dialogue with the historiography pertinent to the theme, especially that which seeks to problematize the “human void”, which was sometimes intended to be demonstrated in narratives about the colonial Amazon, concealed in the view from: extractive region with the use of indigenous labor (Vergolino-Henry & Figueredo, 1990; Funes, 1995; Gomes, 1997; Bezerra Neto, 2012; Chambouleyron, 2004 and 2006; Barbosa, 2009; Silva, 2013).

Summary
Resumo: O que pretendo salientar nesse texto é a presença de africanos escravizados na fabricação de madeiras, na Capitania do Grão-Pará, principalmente em finais do século XVIII, quando já se sentia os efeitos da intensificação do tráfico de cativos africanos para a região, através da atuação da Companhia Geral de Comércio do Grão-Pará e Maranhão. Com base na documentação do Arquivo Histórico Ultramarino e Arquivo Público do Pará, se dialoga com a historiografia pertinente ao tema, principalmente aquela que busca problematizar o “vazio humano”, que por vezes se pretendeu demonstrar em narrativas sobre a Amazônia colonial, escamoteado na visão de: região extrativista com utilização de mão-de-obra indígena (Vergolino-Henry & Figueredo, 1990; Funes, 1995; Gomes, 1997; Bezerra Neto, 2012; Chambouleyron, 2004 e 2006; Barbosa, 2009; Silva, 2013). Palavras-chave: escravidão, africanos, fabricação de madeiras, Grão-Pará. SLAVERY OF AFRICANS AND WOOD MAKING IN GRÃO-PARÁ IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE 18TH CENTURY
