| Abstract | |
The space located in the mountains above São Paulo, known as Oeste Paulista, underwent intense changes in the passage from the 18th to the 19th century. Several villages had their demography and economy changed as new mills were installed, in light of the rapid rise in the price of sugar due to the Revolution of enslaved people in Saint-Domingue. The present thesis is anchored in the need to understand the particularities of the economic and demographic transformations in the village of São Carlos, currently Campinas, in the conjuncture of the colony; therefore, the main objective of this work is to investigate the assembly of the sugar complex in Campinas. The analytical enterprise was based mostly on the serial analysis of the nominative lists of inhabitants, from which all the information related to the villages sugar units were taken, as well as on the final maps of local production. Inventories of senhores de engenho were also used, as well as cross-referencing with other sources related to the trajectories of these individuals. From the serial analysis of the documentation, it was possible to infer who were the actors who set up their sugarcane mills and sugarcane parties in Campinas, as well as what were their procedures with regard to production during the installation of their properties. In this sense, it became evident that there were major transformations in the agrarian and social landscape of Campinas in the transition from the 18th to the 19th century, through a strong migration of free individuals who wanted to participate in the growing sugar economy, as well as the intense purchase of enslaved people, especially Africans (AU) | |
