Casas de vivenda e de morada: estilo de construção e interior das residências da elite escravista sul-mineira - século XIXAbstract
This article aims at investigating some aspects of the material culture of the slaving elite from Southern Minas Gerais, with a special attention given to the changes that took place both in the outside and the inside of slave houses. The region suffered considerable changes after the Portuguese court came to Brazil in 1808. There was an intensification of the commerce of those goods directed to supplying the markets of Rio de Janeiro, which allowed for the social-economic and political ascension of some land- and slave-owners from that area along the first decades of the 19th Century.
