SUMMARY:

 

This dissertation has as object of study the labor relations of the enslaved workers of the Imperial Farm of Santa Cruz, a large farm in the interior of the captaincy of Rio de Janeiro, belonging to the Imperial Crown. This is a study whose general objective is to accompany a group of subjects in their work arrangements to understand what was being triggered from the labor sphere.
For this, we will use the documentation on trade and rent of enslaved in the Imperial Fazenda de Santa Cruz that is deposited in the National Archives of Rio de Janeiro in the documentary sets constituted by the National Fund of the Santa Cruz Farm. The records of baptisms of enslaved of the Curated of Santa Cruz and the lists in the provincial section of Rio de Janeiro in the journal Almanak administrative, Mercantile and Industrial of Rio de
Janeiro.
In this documentation, we look for their names. We analyze the custom of the enslaved of the Santa Cruz Farm to acquire compound names. In this nominative structure, they reinforced their customs, which dated back to the "time of the priests", shaping with nostaliation, which symbolized their devotion, beliefs and piety, but also their negotiations and strategies. Knowing this community by their first and last names was a good start.
From a report, maps and regiments of the Farm administration, we present, a structure of ordering the work arrangements of the Farm in the nineteenth century: 1. The "passive service"; and the service in the Farm; 2. a support for displaced labour to public establishments; 3. A group of enslaved rented to several: farmers, farmers and traders; and rented to you, a group of 45 enslaved women who paid their rent to the Farm.
The displacements to Quintas, Paços and other Imperial Crown Offices was, common practice in the first half of the nineteenth century, demarcated in the maps and distribution report of the occupations o f the enslaved. However, in rents, for the second half of the 19th century, 1862-1868, no travel to public establishments is noted, with exceptions, most rental contracts relate to rents for private purposes, private gentlemen around Santa Cruz, and enslaved to you.
Thus, we point out as a structure of commerce and rent of enslaved in the Santa Cruz Farm, the system of rented to several and you. This trade was aimed at private masters: farmers, farmers and merchants in the city of Rio de Janeiro and fluminense province.
