Abstract

The larger slave mobility that characterized great urban centers, allowed the widening slave autonomy to manifest also through living arrangements, creating to the slave the practice of living by himself. According to this practice the slaves did not have to live in the master's house. The present paper intends to examine the ways in which the Brazilian Nation-State dealt with this practice in Rio de Janeiro, in order to understand up to what point the State legislated over slave autonomy.
