This article analyzes how tuberculosis was associated with poverty and the working class in Brazil between 1930 and 1945, reinforcing social inequalities through exclusionary narratives. Based on documentary and newspaper sources, it investigates how medical and political discourses diverted state responsibility, blaming the poor for the spread of the disease while ignoring the structural factors that facilitated its transmission. Using Michel Foucault’s concepts of biopower and discourse, along with the reflections of authors on urbanization, the study highlights how the unhealthy conditions of cities, exacerbated by unchecked industrialization, became a setting for the social and moral control of the working class. The research aims to contribute to the debate on urban memory, public health, and social exclusion.
