Abstract

Defines low technology extraction, practiced in many parts of the Brazilian Amazon region. Examines 16 recurrent analytical and conceptual topics present in academic and political discussions about that type of extraction. Evaluates several public policies, community initiatives, partnerships and other forms of support given to extractors. Points out in each topic the perspectives of prosperity, collapse, stagnation or continued existence of low technology extraction and of the people who practice and depend on it.
