Descrição
Resumo:This paper aims to analyze letters of freedom registered in the notary journals of the First Notary’s Office of Jataí  between 1872 – opening year of the Notary’s Office – and 1888 – year of slavery abolition in Brazil. We intend to outlinemanumitted people profile, highlighting sex, age and color, as well as to elucidate the relationship between masters and enslaved people, noticing political strategies regarding freedom negotiation and registered manumissions forms: conditional, free or bought. Therefore, we aim to understand slavery dynamics in Jataí, in dialogue with the historiography produced on the topic in Goiás and other regions of Brazil.
