【 摘 要 】

The author analyses lists of slaves imported from Luanda between 1734 and 1769, estimating the presence of 10% of children in the slave trafic to Brazil. Perusing tax decrees of 1758, notices that different amounts of taxes were payed by "crias de pé" and children still in their mothers lap. The author establishes an annual rate of 534 children, that declined after the middle of the 18th century. The article also describes the manner they were captured in the African coast, their lodgement on board the slave ships, their rate of mortality; compares Luanda to other Angolan and Brazilian ports. Finally, the author compares the brazilian trade in slave children to the higher numbers registered for the British, Dutch and ish trade in the Caribbean region.
