Abstract

The present work proposes the analysis of the relations between masters and slaves in the urban perimeter in colonial Rio de Janeiro, so that a survey is also made of the goods that were shipped in the port of Rio. In this sense, we will make a connection with the labor activities of the slaves to understand and expand their performance in the structure of the colonial economy. From this, it is possible to highlight that the economy in Rio de Janeiro was formed by balancing market demands with the usual hierarchically established relations.
