| Abstract | |
This essay aims to investigate work arrangements and disputes over freedom encompassed in service renting contracts registered between years 1830 and 1888 in the First Notary Office in the cities of São Paulo and Campinas. These contracts are comprehended in the logics of compensatory manumission produced throughout the 19th century. They provided the continuation of slave domain and the exploitation of workers that came out of slavery in the aftermath of emancipation. Thus, these contracts established precarious conditions for the entrance of former slaves in the domains of freedom. The sources analyzed also include registers of judicial disputes related to service renting contracts that unravel the negotiations and conflicts carried out in social practice by members of the manorial layer and workers determined to fulfill their freedom projects.
