Abstract

This article aims to explain the existence of Black kingdoms, later known as "congadas", in almost all Brazilian regions that received African slaves from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries. The approach places Portugal, Central Africa, and Brazil as component parts of a single economic, social and cultural system, woven around the Atlantic. Concerned primarily with the formation of identities, the analysis focuses on the cultural sphere and on power relations.
