Abstract

The article aims to demonstrate how the demographic, as well as the economical expansion of African descent population in the Captaincy of Minas Gerais, along the second half of the eighteenth century, was accompanied by the political articulation of black and mestizo groups around brotherhoods and troops. Referring specifically to petitions sent to Conselho Ultramarino, it is the intent of this text to emphasize the ability of these groups to gather political strength through the formulation of a critical discourse.
