SELA, Eneida Maria Mercadante. A África carioca em lentes européias: corpos, sinais e expressões. Rev. Bras. Hist. [online]. 2006, vol.26, n.52, pp.193-225. ISSN 0102-0188.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0102-01882006000200009.

The proposal of this article is to investigate the ways some European travellers, who have came to the city of Rio de Janeiro during the first half of the 19^th century, registered Africans in the slavery experience. Foreigners who visited Brazilian Court until 1850 faced the biggest African slave population of the Americas, and the set of their literature, which describes such cultural and social counterpose, reveals conceptual reiterations of a whole lot of physical and behavioural characteristics given to Africans in captivity.

Palavras-chave : African slaves [Rio de Janeiro, 19^th century]; European travellers; Africanisms.
