This article discusses how some academics and politicians in Brazilian Amazonia understood the illiterate culture movements like Cabanagem in the region between 1835 and 1840. It reports the presidents of Pará province, time studies and political work are examined and in the center, the work Motins políticos, written by historian and political imperial Domingos Antônio Raiol, Guajará Baron. Written between 1860 and 1890, the book describes the motivations for the cabanos war from the perspective of imperial order, especially after the rise of Emperor Dom Pedro II. It is recognized as a hypothesis that educational and social changes, born after the 1870s, although they have encouraged the creation of new educational institutions and expanded the degree and extent of formal education, they also brought fears about the way driving, since it is such a revolutionary place like Pará conclude that discuss cabanos knowledge - although the tortuous Raiol reading - is criticizing a formal education, including how much can disqualify the knowledge and understanding of the informal world.

Keywords : illiteracy; Cabanagem; Amazon; nineteenth century.
