It is about social change, focusing mainly on people excluded from citizenship by Portuguese colonial laws: the so-called 'natives', whose activities greatly shaped the economic and social life of the city and changed their own lives in the process. Their experiences in coping with and responding to the economic, social and political constraints of the colonial situation were reconstructed from archival documents, newspapers and bibliographical sources, complemented by a few interviews.

  • As If from a Free Womb”: Baptismal Manumissions in the Conceição Parish, Luanda, 1778-1807 José C
    J. C. CURTO, PORTUGUESE STUDIES REVIEW 10 (1) (2002): 26-57 “As If From A Free Womb”: Baptismal Manumissions in the Conceição Parish, Luanda, 1778-1807 José C. Curto York University, Toronto, Ontario, Canada Abstract: This paper reconstructs and discusses the process of manumission in a slavocratic society that has so far remained outside the ambit of scholarly analysis: the Conceição Parish of Luanda, where the elites of colonial Angola resided. The sources on which it draws consist of 166 cases of slave enfranchisement at the baptismal font between 1778 and 1807, a particularly important period for both Luanda and Angola. Involving exclusively infants, this relatively small number of cases nevertheless relates to a far larger population pool, both enslaved and free, within the Conceição Parish. Thus, besides addressing the ritual incorporation of certain slaves into the Christian community, and the simultaneous freedom gained through the baptismal font, the study also provides otherwise unobtainable detailed insights into a specific slave and slave-holding society in West Central Africa. © 2002 Portuguese Studies Review. All rights reserved. anumission continues to be an important object of analysis for slave societies Mthroughout much of the Atlantic World.1 The process, although quantitatively negligible, was after all an extremely dramatic one. It involved an individual owner relinquishing property rights over one or a very small group of his/her slaves. Manumission discriminated among the enslaved to be enfranchised, since freedom was only granted to specific slaves. It was always the result of an agreement, intention, or contract between the individuals concerned, the owners and the slaves.
