SUMMARY:

he present research is relevant, above all, for shedding light on a region still little analyzed by
historiography, given the focus on the provinces with the highest number of enslaved people until
the end of the 19th century, especially those in the Southeast. We seek here to emphasize the
historical dimension of structural racism and its discursive construction, which permeated and still
guides our daily actions when we defend the thesis that structural racism in Brazil is based on
slavery. In the last decades, several works on the subject of slavery have been published, from more
general analyzes to the most recent studies that seek to analyze more specific aspects with a focus
on slave protagonism, which does not mean that the discussions have been exhausted. There are still
many gaps such as a more detailed knowledge of the actions of the enslaved in the fight against
slavery in specific regions with little slave expression. It is in this trend that this research is inserted,
and seeks to know in the specific region of Alagoas, the actions of black men and women in the
resistance to slavery. For this we use a variety of documentation and the choice of written
documentary sources is because we understand that they are of great importance for the
historiography of slavery in Alagoas. Thus, crossing different sources brings an important gain for
the researcher, because as Marc Bloch wrote: “It would be a great illusion to imagine that each
historical problem corresponds to a unique type of documents, specific to such use” (BLOCH,
2001, p. 80) . The intersection of these sources, as well as the “evidence” they keep, showed us
ways to think about the post-1888 scenario and the permanence of the idea of the “white race” as
emancipating and of blacks as inferior, unprepared for freedom and citizenship.
