RESUMO

The port of Rio de Janeiro have been a good place for black people to work since slavery days. These were privileged places for them because wage slaves could make enough money for the daily pay owed to their lords. A freelance labour system is the key to understand black workers accomplishments there. Even after slave abolition, black people continued hegemonic in the wharf, despite a constant flow of newly arrived immigrants in Rio. This paper s goal is to explore Rio de Janeiro ports black workers daily living by connecting them to the region where they worked - a spot named in many books as the Little Africa. Also, this work approaches more than their labour environment. Leisure associations, houses, squares, streets and other public spaces are approached as well
