| Sumario: | The article analyzes the different abolitionist discourses and practices present in the press of Minas Gerais during the last decade of slavery in Brazil, with a special focus on the cities of Ouro Preto and Diamantina. Through an investigation of abolitionist newspapers from that time, such as O Trabalho and A Vela do Jangadeiro, the study reveals the diversity of voices within the Minas Gerais abolitionist movement, with perspectives ranging from more conservative proposals to those of a more radical nature. Furthermore, it highlights the active role of enslaved and freed individuals who used festive spaces and the streets as arenas for political expression, demonstrating the complexity of interactions between different social actors in the struggle for abolition. The article also aims to highlight how festivals and popular demonstrations, as described by the press, became instruments of resistance and citizenship promotion, rooted in the political actions developed by Black communities. |
