Abstract
The aim of our study is to assess the contribution that the Jesuit Antonio Vieira’s sermons are the for the maintenance of African slavery in Portuguese America. Understood as a pedagogical instrument for the maintenance of this form of work, the role of priest is to be observed from the perspective of understanding the motives of his preaching to black people in Africa as well as the ramifications of this process. We note the emphasis that the instrument had regarding the possibility of conversion used by members of the Society of Jesus when in contact with people transplanted from Africa to the Colony. Therefore, we consider the arguments and purposes of this discourse as a result of otherness, ie the ability to view others only in itself, considering only their social experience, aiming to impose their way of being different, implying it a social learning divergent of their reality.
