This work intends to analyze the advertisements for slaves contained in Brazilian periodicals that circulated in the last decades of slavery. Through the ads will be possible to understand aspects of the social condition in which lived the captives and its forms of struggle and resistance. Initially, he has been trying to discuss the role of the press in the marketing of the slaves, as well as the economic, social and political changes that occurred in Paraiba during the period in question.

Then we tried to analyze the condition of captivity in which lived the captives, such as: housing, clothing, food, hygienic conditions and, since these factors were instrumental in the development of diseases and, consequently, the health problems. Finally, it was intended to be understood, in particular, the escape of slaves, ads to draw a profile of the captives who were fleeing and presents them not as victims or rebels, but as historical subjects who thought and acted by means of negotiations, struggles, conflicts and solidarity networks to survive before the complex world that was the captivity.
