Resumo: This paper reconstitutes the experience of Belmira, an enslaved mother, in fighting for her own freedom and that of her children – Antero, Senhorinha and Manuel – in the Bahian city of Feira de Santana, between 1878 and 1879. To this end, we analyzed the case for freedom taken by her, [slave] registration records, [municipal] ordinances, letters exchanged , and a death certificate. Qualitative analysis of the archival traces of Belmira’s struggle herself and by those related to her reveals that, despite the intersectional oppression of class, gender and race, women such as Belmira were key characters in the fight for legal freedom. Comparison of the information obtained from the different types of documents showsthat the specificities of female slavery influenced their choice for this type of freedom.

Para tanto, é analisada a ação de liberdade movida por esta protagonista, assim como os registros de matrículas, os códigos de posturas municipais, as correspondências e um atestado de óbito. As marcas deixadas por ela em seu itinerário, bem como por pessoas relacionadas a ela, foram cruzadas por meio de uma abordagem qualitativa das fontes. Desse modo, foi possível saber que, a despeito da opressão interseccional de classe, gênero e raça, mulheres como Belmira foram personagens centrais na luta pela liberdade legal. O cruzamento destes documentos permitiu constatar que as especificidades da escravidão feminina influenciaram suas escolhas por esse tipo de liberdade.UFBA2021-11-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionDouble-blid peer-reviewed articleArtigo avaliado por pares em regime de duplo anonimatoapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/afroasia/article/view/4200910.9771/aa.v0i64.42009Afro-Ásia; No. 64 (2021); 183-219Afro-Ásia; n. 64 (2021); 183-2191981-14110002-0591reponame:Afro-Ásia (Online)instname:Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA)instacron:UFBAporhttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/afroasia/article/view/42009/25529Copyright (c) 2021 Karine Teixeira Damascenohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessDamasceno, Karine Teixeira2022-06-21T15:23:15Zoai:ojs.periodicos.ufba.br:article/42009Revistahttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/afroasiaPUBhttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/afroasia/oaiafroasia@ufba.br1981-14110002-0591opendoar:2022-06-21T15:23:15Afro-Ásia (Online) - Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA)false
