Resumo:  In Minas Gerais there was a predominance of black people in elementary schools according to the population records of 1830s. In this article, we investigate the significance of these experiences confronting census documents from the district of Cachoeira do Campo/MG, located near Ouro Preto, in the central region of the province of Minas. Cachoeira do Campo has census documents resulting from two population countings that occurred in the years 1831 and 1838. The procedure consisted in separating households whose children, in 1831, attended school. Then, these households were identified in the documents of 1838 and the situation of the educated individuals and their family group was analyzed. The seven-year interval between the documents allowed the assessment of the impact of school experience, revealing, among other things, that educated blacks were preferably designated as pardos and they could change their racial status, and were even classified as white.

En este artículo, tratamos de investigar el significado de tal experiencia para la población negra a través de la comparación de documentos censitarios del distrito de Cachoeira do Campo/MG, que se encontraba alrededor de Ouro Preto, en la región central de la provincia. En seguida, identificamos  estos domicilios en la documentación de 1838, en la que analizamos la situación de los individuos escolarizados y de su grupo familiar. El intervalo de siete años entre los documentos posibilitó la evaluación de los impactos de la experiencia escolar y reveló, entre otras cosas, que los negros escolarizados eran preferentemente designados como pardos y podían cambiar de status racial, pasando incluso a ser clasificados como blancos.  De acordo com uma documentação que contabilizou a população de Minas Gerais, nos anos de 1830, havia um predomínio dos negros entre os alunos das escolas de instrução elementar. Neste artigo, procuramos investigar os significados dessa experiência para a população negra através da confrontação de documentos censitários do distrito de Cachoeira do Campo/MG, que se encontrava no termo de Ouro Preto, na região central da província. O procedimento de análise ocorreu a partir da separação dos domicílios em que havia o registro de crianças frequentando escolas, em 1831. Em seguida, identificamos esses domicílios na documentação de 1838 analisando a situação dos indivíduos escolarizados e de seu grupo familiar. O intervalo de sete anos entre os documentos possibilitou a avaliação dos impactos da experiência escolar, revelando, entre outras coisas, que negros escolarizados eram preferencialmente designados como pardos e estes podiam mudar de status racial, passando até mesmo a ser classificados como brancos.Fundação Carlos Chagas2015-03-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://publicacoes.fcc.org.br/cp/article/view/2855Cadernos de Pesquisa; Vol. 45 No. 155: jan./mar.2015; 156-177Cadernos de Pesquisa; Vol. 45 Núm. 155: jan./mar.2015; 156-177Cadernos de Pesquisa; Vol. 45 No. 155: jan./mar.2015; 156-177Cadernos de Pesquisa; v. 45 n. 155: jan./mar.2015; 156-1771980-53140100-1574reponame:Cadernos de Pesquisa (Fundação Carlos Chagas.
