Resumo: This work investigates the experiences of searching for freedom undertaken by freed and slaves in the county of Rio Grande, in the extreme south of the Brazilian Empire during the nineteenth century. Unlike observed in other regions of Brazil, in Rio Grande those born in Africa were more successful than those born in Brazil to get free from slavery. In establishing this framework it was a key action of the West African community. Minas and nagôs were substantial part of the African population of the port city. They reorganized their lives around the nation kinship, reaching the hegemony of the free market among Africans, through the purchase of their manumissions.

Ao contrário do observado para outras regiões brasileiras, em Rio Grande os nascidos na África tiveram mais sucesso que os nascidos no Brasil em se libertar da escravidão. Na configuração desse quadro foi fundamental a ação da comunidade de africanos ocidentais. Minas e nagôs constituíram parte substancial da população africana da cidade portuária sulina, reorganizaram suas vidas em torno do parentesco de nação, alcançando a hegemonia do mercado da liberdade entre os africanos, através da compra de suas alforrias.UFRGS2008-07-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/anos90/article/view/674410.22456/1983-201X.6744Anos 90; Vol. 15 No. 27 (2008): Dossiê África - Brasil; 189-231Anos 90; v. 15 n. 27 (2008): Dossiê África - Brasil; 189-2311983-201X0104-236Xreponame:Anos 90 (Online)instname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)instacron:UFRGS-30porhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/anos90/article/view/6744/4046Scherer, Jovani de Souzainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-01-12T17:04:09Zoai:seer.ufrgs.br:article/6744Revistahttps://seer.ufrgs.br/anos90PUBhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/anos90/oaianos90@ufrgs.br||1983-201X0104-236Xopendoar:2023-01-12T17:04:09Anos 90 (Online) - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)false
