Abstract

There are several ways to tell the story of Atlantic slavery, however, french historian Charlotte Castelnau L'estoile does so in the light of an individual trajectory. At the age of 26, the main character of this story that bears her name in the title was forcibly shipped from Angola to Salvador. In Brazil, she contracted second marriages, in the face of the Church, while her first husband, a resident of the Angolan village of Massangano, where the protagonist was born, was still alive. Accused of the crime of bigamy by the Tribunal do Santo Ofício de Lisboa, the investigation into her case took place on two sides of the same ocean. Twice a slave, twice married, twice forcibly crossed the Atlantic and twice removed from the world she fought to establish, Páscoa Vieira's life course is exemplary in that it highlights her role as an agent of the so-called “Atlantic community”.
