Main Article Content
After a spirited economic performance before the Great War, as well as an unstable evolution
of trade and extracting activities during the war, the Amazon basin continued its path
of trade, life, and transport. The new economic frontiers opened the dynamic structure of
transport and life networks beyond some occasional commodity boom. This article tries to
explain 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 empirical
findings ask for rethinking the dynamics of the Amazon basin, especially on different scales
about trade, capital, and transport networks.
