摘要
The objective of this article is to discuss the relationship between slaves and their descendants and the monetary economy of Brazil in the second half of the 191 century. Focusing on the Caixa Economica savings accounts of slaves, we argue that saving money was one of the strategies used to purchase manumission for themselves and their family, mainly after the Law of the Free Womb was enacted in 1871.
