Modernity and integration in the region called Amazon, and again, whenever we hear in the media, intellectual circles, among politicians of the most varied, North and other regions of the country, and questions arise about the best way to Amazonia. Projects and ideologies were created, usually revolving around the possibilities of modernity and integration in the region, long considered a legend and mineral reserves, the kingdom of the forest and the "plain", isolated space, far, a true "void" of "tropical paradise "or" green hell ". Since the clashes in the Colony and the Empire on integrated or separate from central government to large projects in the 1970s, the local intelligentsia and the media point of views expressed and assumed, in many cases, policy positions. I tried to get a little in this debate, I refer to the first decades of the twentieth century, and finding this past characters that reflect the new actors of this: the intellectuals and the most modern means of communication between the wars, next to the cinema, radio.
