📅 11 Sèptèmber 1838 📍 Brazil

A municipal posture required licenses for people working in the ganho economy, including enslaved and free workers. Licenses made street labor legible to authorities and exposed workers to fees, inspection, and policing. Enslaved workers still negotiated task assignments, cultivated customers, and sometimes retained part of their earnings, but these practices unfolded within a coercive system that transferred much of their labor’s value to enslavers.
