This article aims to analyze the context of the formation of an industrial working class in the 1940s in the far north of the Amazon, the current state of Amapá, based on the notions of work, citizenship and society established during the Estado Novo. Starting from this specific reality, we intend to demonstrate how a population still outside the dictates of capitalist productivity and regularity was integrated into such demands, associated with the development objectives proposed as an alternative to what was considered an economically and culturally backward region in relation to the large centers of the country.
