Escravidão e pequena propriedade em Minas Gerais – século XIX

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the small farms of slaves who were present in the towns of Nossa Senhora da Conceição de Ibitipoca, Santa Rita do Ibitipoca, Ibertioga, Santana do Garambéu e São Domingos da Bocaina, in the first half of the nineteenth century. In this sense, through a systematic analysis of Nominal Lists of Inhabitants, we seek to examine the small slave owners and the slaves who were under the ownership of these men and women in 1831. In addition, we are dedicated to investigate the relations of cronyism that were established between masters and slaves, checking how to have alliances and spiritual bonds that united individuals in these small production units.
