Cazumba in post-abolition: Memory, identity and "immaterial patrimony" in Sao Goncalo dos Campos, Bahia

The article is part of a larger research that investigated the trajectory of a family of descendants of Africans who, since the nineteenth century, maintains the family surname, despite the slavery regime that, among other things, "aborted" the family name of the enslaved Africans and their descendants. This article analyzes the trajectory of one of these descendants in the post-abolition from the written documentation available and the oral narratives about the Cazumbá.
