Resumen
The present article examines the idea that the transformations which took place in the Brazilian rural world under the military regime can be seen as part of a nation-building project. It is suggested that policies of agrarian modernization, the bureaucratization of power in the hinterland, and the extension of social benefits to the rural population all interact to foster a new social identity, substituting one which has traditionally been based on local loyalty. This argument is developed through a case study which analyzes changes in local economics and politics. In addition, based on survey data as well as on in-depth interviews, perceptions of the local political-administrative elite and those of the population in general are examined vis-à vis such changes. Lastly, extrapolating the case study, a brief digression is made concerning the prospects for political incorporation of the rural population.
