This article aims to present Maranhão and its ethnic-racial relations, as the state was exploited by Europeans, the indigenous population of Maranhão is among the most significant in the country from a numerical point of view and has the largest number of black population in the country. The historical-dialectical materialist method was used in this study, seeking to understand the state and its political, economic, historical, social and cultural characteristics. Thus, the theoretical references are: Marx (2013), Santos (2015), Pelegrino (2014), Pereira (2006), among others. We conclude that there is still a lot of social inequality, the result of a servile and slave society, built from oligarchic interests and the ruling class, where blacks are the majority in the poorest segments, with the working class being exploited in capitalism.
