SUMMARY:

Focusing on 18th-century Angola, this work analyzes the trajectory of João Teixeira de Carvalho. He was  a priest who, in 1726, upon his appointment as schoolmaster of the Luanda cathedral, was accused of the "defect of mulatto origin" and of conducting illicit trade expeditions in the hinterlands of Benguela. The subject of this study was well-versed in the captive trade routes within the interior of the so-called Kingdom of Angola and engaged in commercial dealings with foreign ships, an activity that was prohibited at the time. This research explores the strategies of social mobility adopted by Carvalho, as well as his political influence in Luandan society, his exile to the Carmo Convent in Rio de Janeiro, and the royal pardon he received — an event that enabled his return to Luanda and the recovery of his ecclesiastical benefits and possessions. After living there for several more years, he was appointed by the King of Portugal in 1747 to the position of archdeacon of the main church of the Diocese of Angola and Congo.
