Abstract
This article aims to highlight and analyze parental bonds established by men and women of African origin, individuals from different social classes and ethnic origins, in the context of a small port town in southern Brazil: Nossa Senhora do Desterro, located on the island of Santa Catarina. We assume that establishment parental bonds constitute, in the context of slavery, a way to create hope and enable survival. Africans, when created their family ties, gave meaning to their lives and marked a significant social space in which they lived. Therefore, to analyze and discuss the multiplicity of experiences of Africans, enables to understand historical specificities of Santa Catarina, and at the same time, to address the complexity of the arrangements of coexistence, relations between color, social status, region of origin and place in society of the period.
