Abstract

This work aims to study the routine of ex-slaves, ex-freedmen and their descendants in Brazilian\'s society of post-emancipation. My intent on researching this question, even though partially, is what would have been for these historical subjects mentioned their experience within this context of such deep social transformation. The spatial area is the city of Campinas, especially its urban part. This area, in its turn, was an important economic centre in the nineteenth century and consequently had a considerable population of slaves. Concerning about the temporality, the text covers three decades, starting with the big event (the formal abolition of slavery system) and ending in the first two decades of the twentieth century. To understand the conflicts in this society and, at the same time, knowing about the cultural references of the agents who were involved with are the greatest ambitions of this text. (AU)
