This article aims to focus some aspects concerning slave societies in Brazil and in Africa. In special, those related to the meanings of freedom, color, and protest between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. These issues are discussed from a critical dialogue on the perspectives about miscegenation, domination politics, social dynamics, and change in the slave societies.

Keywords : slavery; miscegenation; Africa; slave societies.
