Abstract:

This article contributes to a better understanding of the conditions to which Africans were subjected in the immediate disembarkation, extending the study beyond the ship. It highlights the importance of East Africans in southeastern Brazil at the beginning of the century, which should be considered for a deeper analysis of identity reinventions, diseases and healing practices. The pain of these people had as a scenery the debates and political negotiations around the prohibition of the Atlantic slave trade and the independence of Brazil.
