Viver na Conceição da Praia: população de cor e arranjos de moradia em uma freguesia de Salvador

Abstract

The objective of this dissertation is to analyze the housing arrangements in the parish of Conceição da Praia, commercial and port neighborhood of the city of Salvador, between 1824 and 1836. Taken by a enslaved and liberated population, which, together with the white, merchant and/or impoverished population, divided the most diverse spaces in search of a place to live. In addition, we mapped the parish of Conceição understanding how the population was divided between streets, alleys, alleys and staircases. To help us look at this location, we base the ecclesiastical records of deaths produced by Dendê-Bus that brings numerous indications that help us to trace possibilities of how the population of Conceição da Praia lived in this locality in the period studied. It is through the descriptions of this parish priest about this locality and its residents that we can map streets, alleys, squares. We also use, in the construction of this narrative, other sources, as: periodical, police documents and judges of peace, imperial laws and postures, to understand the daily relationships existing between the liberated and enslaved colored population and map the negotiation strategies and arrangements to get a place to rest at the end of the day or simply a place of greater privacy for you and yours.
