Resumo: The present paper explores the intersections between the worlds of the free, the freed and the slaves, proposing reflections on the hierarchies and inequalities of Brazilian slavery. Based on methods and techniques of family history, historical demography and social networks analysis, we reconstituted a family's relationships of godparentage in their historical process of shift from slavery to freedom, which was diffuse and filled with strategies that circumvented uncertainties. As a conclusion, freedom was demonstrated as a condition that needed to be confirmed by freed people on a daily basis, which highlights the systemic strength of slavery in the development of Brazilian society.

A partir de métodos y técnicas de la historia de la familia, de la demografía histórica y del análisis de redes sociales, se han reconstituido las relaciones de compadrazgo de una familia en su proceso histórico de confirmación de la libertad, lo cual se presentó difuso y repleto de estrategias que circunvalaban incertidumbres. Como conclusión, se ha demostrado la libertad como una condición que cotidianamente necesitó ser confirmada por individuos libertos, lo que evidencia la fuerza sistémica de la esclavitud en la formación social brasileña.Este artigo explora as interseções entre os mundos dos livres, libertos e escravos, propondo reflexões sobre as hierarquias e desigualdades gestadas pela escravidão brasileira. A partir de métodos e técnicas da história da família, da demografia histórica e da análise de redes sociais, reconstituíram-se as relações de compadrio de uma família em seu processo histórico de confirmação da liberdade, o qual se apresentou difuso e repleto de estratégias que contornavam incertezas. Como conclusão, demonstrou-se a liberdade como uma condição que cotidianamente precisou ser confirmada por indivíduos libertos e alforriados, o que salienta a força sistêmica da escravidão na formação social brasileira.Editora FGV2019-04-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/reh/article/view/77562Revista Estudos Históricos; Vol. 32 No. 66 (2019): Escravidão e Liberdade nas Américas; 33-52Revista Estudos Históricos; v. 32 n. 66 (2019): Escravidão e Liberdade nas Américas; 33-522178-14940103-2186reponame:Estudos Históricos (Rio de Janeiro)instname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/reh/article/view/77562/75383Copyright (c) 2019 Revista Estudos Históricosinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAndrade, Mateus Rezende2019-04-10T16:25:29Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/77562Revistahttps://periodicos.fgv.br/rehONGhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/reh/oai||biblioteca.digital@fgv.br||eh@fgv.br2178-14940103-2186opendoar:2024-03-06T13:02:11.390225Estudos Históricos (Rio de Janeiro) - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)true
