| Summary: | <div><strong>RESUMO:</strong></div><div>Este trabalho tem por objetivo contribuir para o estudo da história da mulher africana e suas descendentes em Minas Gerais no século XVIII, por meio da análise dos hábitos alimentares, identificando suas diversas formas de representação e sociabilidade no universo cultural alimentar da América Portuguesa. O objetivo, além de conhecer e compreender o cotidiano da cultura alimentar dessas mulheres é também buscar afirmar uma identidade em que elas possam ser vistas enquanto preservadoras das suas tradições de origem, ressaltando desta forma, seus aspectos étnico-culturais. Para tal, propõe-se estudá-las por um dos meios pelo qual elas mais atuaram em Minas Gerais, o da alimentação. Estabeleceram-se enquanto verdadeiras protagonistas em meio a uma sociedade patriarcalista atuando tanto no comércio fixo quanto no ambulante. Trilhar os caminhos desse universo é mergulhar num contexto híbrido e encontrá-las como agentes sociais que quebraram paradigmas e reinventaram valores e costumes na cultura afro-brasileira.</div><div></div><div><strong>PALAVRAS-CHAVES:</strong> Mulher, alimentação, cultura, África, colônia, comércio</div><div></div><div><span id="result_box" lang="en"><strong><span class="hps">ABSTRACT:</span></strong><br /> <span class="hps"> </span></span></div><div><span id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps">This</span> <span class="hps">work aims to</span> <span class="hps">contribute to the</span> <span class="hps">study of the history</span> <span class="hps">of African women</span> <span class="hps">and their</span> <span class="hps">descendants</span> <span class="hps">in Minas Gerais</span> <span class="hps">in the eighteenth century</span><span>,</span> <span class="hps">through the analysis</span> <span class="hps">of</span> <span class="hps">eating habits</span><span>, identifying</span> <span class="hps">various forms</span> <span class="hps">of representation and</span> <span class="hps">sociability</span> <span class="hps">in the food</span> <span class="hps">culture</span> <span class="hps">of Portuguese America</span> <span class="hps">universe.</span> <span class="hps">The goal,</span> <span class="hps">in addition to knowing</span> <span class="hps">and</span> <span class="hps">understanding the daily life</span> <span class="hps">of</span> <span class="hps">these women</span> <span class="hps">food</span> <span class="hps">culture is also</span> <span class="hps">seeking</span> <span class="hps">to assert</span> <span class="hps">an identity</span> <span class="hps">that</span> <span class="hps">they can</span> <span class="hps">be seen</span> <span class="hps">while</span> <span class="hps">preserving</span> <span class="hps">their</span> <span class="hps">original</span> <span class="hps">traditions</span><span>, highlighting</span> <span class="hps">thus</span> <span class="hps">their</span> <span class="hps">ethnic and cultural</span> <span class="hps">aspects</span><span>.</span> <span class="hps">To this end,</span> <span class="hps">it is proposed to</span> <span class="hps">study them</span> <span class="hps">by</span> <span class="hps">one of the means</span> <span class="hps">by which</span> <span class="hps">they</span> <span class="hps">acted</span> <span class="hps">more</span> <span class="hps">in Minas Gerais,</span> <span class="hps">the</span> <span class="hps">food.</span> <span class="hps">They settled</span> <span class="hps">as real</span> <span class="hps">protagonists</span> <span class="hps">in</span> <span class="hps">the midst of a</span> <span class="hps">patriarchal</span> <span class="hps">society</span> <span class="hps">acting both in the</span> <span class="hps">fixed</span> <span class="hps">trade</span> <span class="hps">as</span> <span class="hps">in</span> <span class="hps">walking</span><span>.</span> <span class="hps">Walk the paths</span> <span class="hps">of this universe</span> <span class="hps">is to dive</span> <span class="hps">in a hybrid</span> <span class="hps">context and</span> <span class="hps">find them</span> <span class="hps">as</span> <span class="hps">social agents who</span> <span class="hps">broke new</span> <span class="hps">and</span> <span class="hps">reinvented</span> <span class="hps">values and customs</span> <span class="hps">in the</span> <span class="hps">african</span><span>-Brazilian culture</span><span>.</span><br /> <strong><span class="hps"> </span></strong></span></div><div></div><div><span id="result_box" lang="en"><strong><span class="hps">KEYWORDS</span>: </strong><span class="hps">Woman</span><span>, food,</span> <span class="hps">culture</span><span>, Africa</span><span>, colony,</span> <span class="hps">trade</span></span></div><div></div><div><span lang="en"><span class="hps">Recebido:09/06/2010 Aceito:13/07/2010<br /></span></span></div>
