Abstract

This work deals with the actions developed by enslaved black women who carried out street commerce in the city of Recife in the second half of the 18th century. We approach their successes based on their relations with allies who were of lower social levels, but also with the black brotherhoods, and with their masters who were probably traders established in the commercial square of Recife, components of the City Council and Kingdom authorities as the governors of the captaincy that could confer the Black Patents, document that allowed to carry out a legalized trade.
