In the fordlandia series, Austin Martin White references Henry Ford’s megalomanic project in the Amazon Rainforest, originally established in 1928. Ford’s vision was to gain complete control over all essential branches of the automobile industry — Fordlândia being the center to harvest cultivated rubber. The local and indigenous workers were suffering from inhumane working conditions and foreign conventions forced upon them. Ultimately, Ford’s project failed and the city of Fordlândia was abandoned in 1934.

En la serie fordlandia, Austin Martin White hace referencia al megalómano proyecto de Henry Ford en la selva amazónica, establecido originalmente en 1928. La visión de Ford era hacerse con el control total de todas las ramas esenciales de la industria automovilística, siendo Fordlândia el centro de recolección del caucho cultivado. Los trabajadores locales e indígenas sufrían condiciones de trabajo inhumanas y convenciones extranjeras impuestas. Al final, el proyecto de Ford fracasó y la ciudad de Fordlândia fue abandonada en 1934.
