Neste lugar chegaram a reunir-se cerca de 6.600 homens e mulheres pobres livres, fugindo da terr?vel seca de 1877, mas tamb?m motivados pela promessa de acesso aos g?neros de primeira necessidade, moradia e cuidados m?dicos, mediante trabalho, como defendiam os representantes do poder local e central. No entanto, n?o foi isso que os retirantes efetivamente encontraram, j? que as condi??es dentro do estabelecimento agr?cola chamavam aten??o pela pen?ria e viol?ncia, conforme den?ncia apresentada nos relat?rios presidenciais daquela ?poca. Este trabalho tem o objetivo de analisar os conflitos ocorridos na Col?nia Sinimb?, procurando enfatizar as tens?es e interesses dos representantes das elites locais e do governo central, relacionados ? constru??o e posterior fechamento desse espa?o, num contexto marcado pelos debates acerca do controle do trabalhador pobre livre. Assim, procuraremos demonstrar que, se por um lado, foram criados espa?os institucionalizados que visavam submeter o nacional livre a uma l?gica de trabalho pautada na disciplina do corpo, no controle do tempo e no ordenamento do espa?o, por outro n?o se pode desconsiderar as diferentes formas de resist?ncia impostas pelos homens e mulheres pobres livres, submetidos ao processo de reordenamento do mundo do trabalho. / In 1878, at the province of Rio Grande do Norte, between Cear?-Mirim and Extremoz, was founded the Agricultural Colony of Sinimb?. On this location, about 6,600 freed men and women had gathered. They were not only fleeing from the terrible 1877 drought but also encouraged by the promise of accessing basic necessities, i.e. housing and medical assistance, upon work, as required by local and central representatives of power. However, the migrants faced otherwise reality, since conditions within the agricultural facility were of shortage and violence, as denounced on the presidential reports of that time. This work aims at analyzing the conflicts that took place at the Sinimb? Colony, while it seeks to emphasize how the tensions and interests of both local elite and central government representatives relate to the opening and closure of this space, on a context where the debate on the control over freed poor workers was on the rise. Thus, we intend to demonstrate that on the one hand, institutionalized places provided the native freed a sense of work guided by the discipline of the body, control of time and arrangement of space. On the other hand, unlike forms of resistance enacted by freed working men and women undergoing the rearranging process of labor world cannot be disregarded.
