This dissertation analyzes the historical processes of social, political and economic formation of the fishermen colony of Imperatriz Zone 29 (CPI Z-29), in the State of Maranhao. First, the theoretical base underlying social movements in general is introduced, followed by the origin and organizational skills of the unionized fishermen, since the colonies status is similar of that of an union. The evolution of the fishermen movement in the south of Maranhao is examined. This is the area where the city of Imperatriz is located, corresponding to Z-29 Colony. The fishermens achievements, mainly regarding public policies which favor the social movement, are also analyzed. Upon the reconstitution of historical and economic facts, we studied not only the CPI Z-29, which was established by the end of the 70s more precisely in 1978, when it was created but we also examined the production cycles which developed over the years, in Imperatriz. The fishermens modus vivendi was thoroughly analyzed, covering their habits, beliefs, and practices before and after their legal association, aiming at the organization and growth of an important, but often forgotten class. Along with the study of the foundation of the movement and the organizational abilities of the fishermen, the changes in the economic, political, cultural, environmental, and social aspects caused by the transformations in the organizational structure were also analyzed. Such aspects were intensified by the social projects implemented and encouraged by the Federal Government. Finally, we discuss the political visibility of the fishermen, as well as their participation in the decision making process at the municipal level, which is one of the many achievements of the CPI Z-29, since its foundation.
