Abstract

Deals with the integration of social and space occupation of black men and women in the municipality of São Carlos-SP in the post-abolition process. The historiography of the liberation of slaves in Brazil is becoming wider again, but little is guided in the life experiences of black men and women from a perspective not passive in the extinction of the slave system process. Yet are virtually unknown ways in which these actors organized their lives after freedom, whether in the material field, either in the immaterial. Through the resources of oral history and analysis of the spaces of living descendants of this population, cultural, social and symbolic aspects will be collated to let us know their struggles, achievements and life histories. Thus, our proposal is to investigate and analyze the ways of living and live the black population in San Carlos. (AU)
