Abstract
This article discusses the mobility of slaves and freedmen in 19th century Grão-Pará and the construction of networks linked to the world of Amazonian labor. When analyzing 1866 wills in the province of Pará between the years 1796 to 1888, it was possible to reconstruct fragments of the trajectories of dozens of subjects who moved between slavery and freedom. In this sense, the presence of freedmen in the urban labor market in the capital of Pará, caused a series of tensions marked by origin, color and class. The figure of the freed person gains prominence as a subject capable of mobilizing social capital in order to broaden his notions of rights, and access to restricted spaces, expanding the notions of being a citizen.
