Abstract: Between the late eighteenth century and throughout the first half of the nineteenth century East-Central Africa contributed significantly to supply slave labor to the development of world capitalism.Most Africans coming from there to Brazil was leaded to the coffee areas in the southeast, where, in the late eighteenth century, developed the initial core of coffee production of the captaincy, and the province, of São Paulo.During the first three decades of the nineteenth century, with the massive introduction of slaves and the growth of coffee production, the Paraíba Valley turned into a typical plantation zone, whose economic importance persisted until the end of slavery.The central object of this work are Africans slaves from the central-eastern coast.Through a demographic study we tried to trace theses individuals in the coffee farms of Bananal, we try to examine how was the inclusion of Africans in the slave plantations of the region.We use different documentary sources of the period, such as postmortem inventories of slave owners of the region, church records of marriages and travelers" accounts.
