Slaves, Peasants, Indians, South of Mato GrossoAbstract
Using different sources (Province report, interior fluvial Explorer of Brazil, Odd documents and crime process, among others), we studied the slaves and peasants in Mato Grosso, with focus on the fields of Sant’Ana de Paranaíba, in the XIX century. The aim is to analyze the power relationship and the everyday lived by those men and women slaved and free poors, without losing the owners of the economical and political powers of the region. The aboriginal people become focus of analysis when they are present, in intensive form, all over south of Mato Grosso, among jungles and plantation, conflicts and accommodation. To this argument, we saw the necessity to take back the way of the fluvial expedition to explorer the interior of Brazil in the XVIII century, widening the time cut and the region in focus.
