Resumo: | This study analyzes the trafficking of enslaved Africans to Rio Grande do Sul between 1780 and 1850. In addition to a dialogue with academic research that dealt with the same theme, I explore the baptismal records of the chapels of the two regions that formed the cattle-herding complex, whose production was ingrained to broader mercantile circuits. Thus, the article proposes to investigate how many African slaves were taken to the baptismal fonts, seeking to answer: are baptisms useful to the study of this process? To this end, we verify the percentage of Africans (compared to those born in Brazil) baptized, their sex, which macro-regions of the African continent they came from, as well as which nations appear more often. Overall, more than 14 thousand baptismal records were collected. It is possible to state that the percentage of baptized Creoles was much higher than that of Africans, even in localities where the number of Africans, according to demographic censuses, was higher. Similarly, among the Africans there was a predominance of men, and of people from Central African nations (Congo, Benguela, Cabinda, etc.), although the percentage of slaves from Mina (or Nagôs) is not negligible, especially from the mid-1830s on. Finally, in the absence of more appropriate data, the article confirms that baptisms are valuable sources for the study of the transatlantic slave trade. Keywords: Slavery; slave trade; baptism records. |

Para tanto, além de um diálogo com pesquisas que trataram da mesma temática, exploramos os registros de batismo das capelas das duas regiões que formavam o complexo pecuária-chaqueada, cuja produção estava conectada com circuitos mercantis mais amplos. Assim, propomo-nos a investigar quantos escravos africanos foram levados às pias batismais, procurando responder: os batismos servem para o estudo desse processo? Para tanto, verificamos o percentual de africanos (frente aos nascidos no Brasil) batizados, o sexo dos mesmos, de que macrorregiões do continente africano eram originários, bem como quais nações mais aparecem. No geral, foram coletados mais de 14 mil registros de batismos. De antemão, é possível afirmar que o percentual de crioulos batizados era muito superior ao de africanos, mesmo em localidades onde o número de africanos, conforme censos demográficos, era superior. Da mesma forma, entre os africanos, havia um predomínio de homens e, também, de batizandos de nações da África Central (Congo, Benguela, Cabinda, etc.), embora o percentual de Mina/Nagôs não seja desprezível, especialmente a partir de meados a década de 1830. Por fim, na falta de documentação mais apropriada, podemos considerar que, sim, os batismos são fontes preciosas para o estudo do tráfico de africanos.UFRGS2023-12-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/anos90/article/view/12881710.22456/1983-201X.128817Anos 90; Vol. 30 (2023); e2023006Anos 90; v. 30 (2023); e20230061983-201X0104-236Xreponame:Anos 90 (Online)instname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)instacron:UFRGS-30porhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/anos90/article/view/128817/91409Copyright (c) 2024 Anos 90info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMatheus, Marcelo Santos2024-02-21T00:41:12Zoai:seer.ufrgs.br:article/128817Revistahttps://seer.ufrgs.br/anos90PUBhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/anos90/oaianos90@ufrgs.br||1983-201X0104-236Xopendoar:2024-02-21T00:41:12Anos 90 (Online) - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)false |
