We aimed, in this paper, to understand the influence of the program technological development called “Arenito Nova Fronteira” in the construction process, destruction or maintenance in the identity of the small rural producers in Umuarama-PR area. However, we accomplished a study about the identity in the several authors' perspective, in the philosophical, sociological and psychological contexts, with the intention of extracting the presuppositions that guide those fields. Thus, we worked with the interview of life history, because the identity touches in aspects as the subject's continuity in the social context. It was with that vast theoretical and methodological discussion that we accomplished the interviews in life history with five small rural producers from Umuarama area. The results show that, after the implantation of the Program in the area, the small rural producers are in a process of destruction of your identity, due to the fact of the Program not to have assisted to your aspiration and needs.
