RESUMO

Slavery and industry are subjects of controversies historical debates. At least since 19th century, studious of diverse areas they had searched to understand the questions that had involved the enslaved work in industrial environments. The central problem is in reflecting on the supposed incompatibility of the slavery front to the industrial work, constantly salient in the historiography that shows the slave as incapable of adapting to the activities that demanded dexterity technique and knowledge of machines, beyond not becoming accustomed itself to the rhythm of the industrial production. But not only this; for some historians the dichotomy between slavery and industry is something more serious, therefore the efforts to implant industries would be barred by the presence of the slavery institution. In this thesis, I considered to study the case of the Plant of Iron São João de Ipanema, in Sorocaba (SP), searching to rescue important points for the quarrel of the slavery relationships of work in an industrial enterprise. It is argued preliminarily, the visions on the industrial slavery of comparative form between Brazil and the United States with emphasis in century XIX. In turn, for one better agreement of what call industry in Brazil, follows a boarding on pre-industry and protoindustrialization, based in Europeans theoretical references and reflecting regarding these two concepts in the case of Brazil. Such step was the way necessary to understand the importance of the Ipanema Plant, whose trajectory was analyzed from pertaining primary sources to the establishment and governmental reports. The question appears then of the man power. Since the early years, the slaves had been a full presence onto the workers of the company. To rescue a little of the history of the slaves who had worked there, as well as of one another important group, the free Africans, lead-in the a important conclusions. He disciplines it of work was contested for the two groups of workers, by means of escapes, revolts or using itself of the available judicial ways that obtained. The violence of the slavery in the Plant was not minor who that one applied to the slaves in the sugar farms or coffee. The familiar arrangements were used by African slaves and whom they intended to constitute its families, being married inside of the proper plant. Finally, the history of the Ipanema Plant is argued that the incompatibility between slavery and industrial work needs to be rethinking in another point of view, therefore is full of situations that exemplify the opposite
