Abstract

Resumo O artigo apresenta uma análise histórica da vida do liberto africano José Pedro Autran, casado, na Bahia, com Iyá Nassô, a fundadora do candomblé da Casa Branca. A primeira parte analisa a heterogênea rede social de Autran entre 1822 e 1837, mostrando como o parentesco, o compadrio, a iniciação espiritual e a posse escrava imbricavam o grupo doméstico com a comunidade de terreiro liderada por sua mulher. A segunda parte examina a viagem do casal de retorno à África em 1837 e o seu estabelecimento no porto de Uidá. Baseado em pesquisa etnográfica realizada nessa cidade, o texto focaliza uma família que reclama descendência de José Pedro Autran e a memória de um templo de Xangô que ele teria fundado.Abstract This paper is a historical analysis of the life of African freedman José Pedro Autran, who was married to Iyá Nassô, the founder of the Casa Branca candomblé temple in Bahia. The first section examines Autran’s heterogeneous social network between 1822 and 1837, arguing that kinship, baptismal liaisons, spiritual initiation and slave holding formed an important base of support of both the household and his wife’s religious community. Next, the paper turns to the return voyage to Africa in 1837 that ended in the port city of Ouidah. The closing section, based on ethnographic data from Ouidah, focuses on the memories of a family that claims descent from José Pedro Autran, regarding the history of a Xangô temple that he is said to have founded.
