Abstract

In this article, is examined the impact of the transatlantic slave trade on
the slave population of Campos dos Goitacazes during the sugar boom
of the captaincy (later the province) of Rio de Janeiro. I study the effect
the huge proportion of Africans in local slave population had on the
marriage alliances established inside the slave group.
