RESUMO

This paper will cover the narratives of regional identities in the Amazon paraense especially when they are in opposition to the nation state. Basing themselves in the historically different colonial experience of Pará compared with the rest of Brazil and how Amazon became Brazilian, intellectuals, business and political leaders denounced the interests of the nation as harmful to the region. Viewing itself as a Filha Enjeitada of the rest of Brazil, without autonomy, frustrated by an externally imposed modernization model and refuting a prejudice of inferiority, the Amazon in the opinion of many regionalists, had to be defended. But a defense was not enough, the cultural revaluation of the paraensismo and amazonidade became relevant characteristics in the construction of identities. The values of regionalism, in turn, were used by hegemonic groups in order to increase social cohesion and advance special interests while appearing to be defenders of paraense causes
