description This work aims at reviewing state policies for the Amazon region after World War II, which culminated in the construction of the Belém-Brasília motorway, one of the biggest state interventions in the region.

In name of development, various public policies were formulated, such as the building of roads to put an end to an alleged “historical isolation”. Such an idea reinforced the current image of the Amazon: a scarcely populated and diseased region, characterised by wilderness and, mainly, an obstacle to progress.
