SUMMARY:

In the documentation produced by both the Inquisition and the Ecclesiastical Justice, it was not uncommon for enslaved black men and women to be presented as accused of witchcraft. However, in our research, we sought to highlight individuals who, behind the magical-religious practices they practiced, which led them to be accused of witchcraft, were seeking protection against the violence of their masters. Thus, this research intends to understand the magical-religious practices performed by enslaved people, which were constantly ideologized by the Catholic Church under the “stigma” of witchcraft, as possible exponents of a daily resistance to slavery, with the same degree of relevance as other methods more discussed and established in historiography, such as individual or collective flight, revolts, abortions, suicides, among others. This analysis will be conducted mainly through the verticalization of our research in 18th-century Minas.
