This thesis seeks to understand the dynamics and presence of West Africans, also referred to as Mina blacks, on the urban work market of Rio de Janeiro.Hence, the Praça do Mercado (literally, Market Square), also known as the Mercado da Candelária (Candelária Market), constitutes the ideal site for this analysis.Located on the harbourside of Rio de Janeiro since the 1830s (and remaining active until 1908), this major centre for negotiating staple goods gathered workers of several origins, including many slaves and freed blacks from the Mina Coast of Africa.Whether in the stalls selling fowl, vegetables, fruit, cereals or fish, the research reveals that they remained there for a long period.In the midst of many Portuguese and "Brazilian" tradesmen, the Mina blacks represented a long-lasting and cohesive group.And when they vacated their appointed spaces in the market, whether through death or change of livelihood, they were immediately replaced by partners or spouses having the same origins.The research based on broad set of sources (including the city records for the market, manumission and marriage registers, wills, probate proceeding inventories and even divorce proceeding inventories), has revealed how "nation bonds" patiently wrought in Rio de Janeiro were vital to foment this dynamic.In this sense, it can be perceived that this "ethnic kinship" formed in the New World was fundamental for the development and organisation of the Mina, both in the Mercado da Candelária and in other markets (such as those of manumission and marriage), as well as in the aspects of housing and specific worship that they developed
