Abstract

The article analyses the gradual overthrow of indian slavery in colonial São Paulo throughout the period 1690-1730. Through a careful scrutiny of wills and enfranchisement acts, the author documents the decline of the ratio of slave ownership, the difficulties of implementing enfranchisement acts and the gradual appearance of a population of poor and destitute free indians. At the beginning of the gold economy, the presence of crown judicial authorities reinforced the whole process by reasserting the rights of free indians and their resistance to any form of forced labor.
