Abstract
This article aims to analyze a socio-historical formation of the Amazon, emphasising the (non) place occupied by riverside communities and other Amazonian people, as well as to problematize the territory use and the amazon region insertion in the globalized world. It is a theoretical essay, according to books, magazines and published articles, based on a critical perspective. Regarding this socioeconomic and historical trajectory of the Amazon is marked by intense exploitation of its natural resources that aims to serve the capital interests.The modernization plan of the region culminated in a contradictory way in the densification of the social issue’s expressions and marginalization of the amazonian people, especially as Riverside communities, historically excluded from this process.
