Este livro, construído a partir de um conjunto de geógrafos e geógrafas, e outros pesquisadores da Amazônia, aqui trazidos a público pela “Universidade Federal do Pará - Grupo Acadêmico Produção do Território e Meio Ambiente Na Amazônia” chega no momento exato de sua necessidade. O livro expressa a realidade Amazônica, sobretudo no estado do Pará através da compreensão geográfica e expõe, sob diferentes temas, os conflitos entre apropriação territorial, expropriação da vida e esgotamento dos recursos naturais ou, transfiguração dos recursos naturais. Transfiguração entendida como apropriação da natureza por agentes externos que, ao explora-la com a força de seus poderes, lhe recria de forma diferente, ou seja, a subjuga e a degrada, embora sua permanência. Desta forma expressa uma relação onde, a natureza “natural” e a sociedade local se tornam um outro, subordinado aos interesses, alhures, ainda que em conflito com a formação histórica regional. Dirce Maria Antunes Suertegaray

"O título do livro A quebra dos grilhões: devoção mercedária e crioulização em Minas Gerais (1740-1840) já indica ao leitor que a perspectiva da autora vai além da fundação ou do funcionamento institucional da Irmandade de Nossa Senhora das Mercês ou do regramento missionário, religioso ou festivo da Ordem mercedária na América portuguesa. Vanessa Teixeira, no título, refere-se ao imaginário da experiência, ou da luta, das liberdades que animavam a devoção — a quebra das correntes do cativeiro temporal e espiritual. (...) Romper os grilhões da alma e do corpo na representação devocional pública." Francisco Eduardo de Andrade Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto"
