SUMMARY:

This work studies non-white women (“índias”, “africanas”, “pretas”, “negras”, “mamalucas”, “cabras”, “crioulas”, “mulatas”, “mestiças” and “pardas”) in the Seridó, the backlands of the Capitania do Rio Grande, and analyzes the representations made about these women in the historical documentation of the 18th and 19th centuries. It mobilizes the concepts of quality and condition, and the investigation is developed in parish document sources (baptisms, marriages and deaths registries), judicial sources (post-mortem inventories, manumission letters and freedom actions) and sesmarias. It starts through the quantitative and qualitative cross-referencing of documentation, supported by the methodological instruments of the evidential paradigm and the onomastic method, in dialogue with a micro-historical approach. Through the reconstruction of trajectories of non-white women, it understands in an intersectional way their social and economic dynamics and strategies, such as work, formation of families and judicial proceedings for freedom, looking for social ascension. It observes their representations in historical records during the processes of social mobility and also investigates their properties and horizontal and vertical alliances established in their contact networks, sometimes reinforced by theestablishment of spiritual kinship, through godparenting. By dealing with a theme still little addressed in the historiography about the backlands of Seridó, this work reaches the trajectories and places occupied by non-white women in the symbolic and material world in the Seridó between the18th and 19th centuries.
