Resumo: Starting from a set of divorce proceedings opened by Western African women, known as pretas (or negras) minas, in Rio de Janeiro in the 19th century, I intend, in this article, to discuss how the associations between color, social condition, ethnic identity and certain stereotypes and behaviors, such as notions of honor and honesty, were essential – sometimes even decisive – for the development of such actions. In this process, we will observe as judges, priests, lawyers, prosecutors and also slaves and freedmen observing – and sharing – certain codes and signs of identification of the African populations that lived in the city of Rio.
