          Abstract

          Este artigo aborda a associação entre a guerra, a militarização e as relações políticas dos portugueses com os chefes locais (sobas e dembos), muitas vezes usadas como recurso para o desenvolvimento dos interesses comerciais em Angola durante o século XVIII. Por meio dos autos de vassalagem assinados pelos chefes locais e as cartas patentes recebidas por estes homens, analisa-se a relação estabelecida entre portugueses e africanos. Com isso, busca-se compreender melhor a dinâmica do comércio de escravos, a incorporação de cargos africanos na estrutura militar portuguesa e o modo como a coexistência de poderes e hierarquias portugueses e africanos foi condição sine qua non para a manutenção do domínio português em Angola.

          Translated abstract

          This article discusses the association between war, militarization and political relations with local chiefs (sobas and dembos), often used as a resource for the development of business interests in Angola during the eighteenth century. Through the autos of vassalage signed by local chiefs and letters patent received by these men, it analyzes the relationship established between Portuguese and Africans. This article aims to better understand the dynamics of the slave trade, the incorporation of African posts in the Portuguese military structure and how the coexistence of Portuguese and African powers and hierarchies was a prerequisite for the maintenance of the Portuguese rule in Angola.
