FORMAÃÃO DA ELITE COLONIAL DOS SERTÃES DE MOMBAÃA: TERRA, FAMÃLIA E PODER (SÃCULO XVIII) / Formation of the colonial elite of the Hinterlands of MombaÃa: land, family and power (century XVIII)

FundaÃÃo de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Cearà / Este trabalho procura compreender a formaÃÃo da elite colonial nos SertÃes de MombaÃa, capitania do Siarà grande, no sÃculo XVIII. Para tanto, busca-se analisar quais os meios que permitiram a constituiÃÃo desta elite colonial, como a forma das concessÃes de sesmarias, as justificativas apresentadas pelos requerentes, a natureza individual ou coletiva dos pedidos, a origem social dos sesmeiros, visando identificar quais os padrÃes por eles apresentados que justificavam a referida mercÃ. Especificamente sobre os SertÃes de MombaÃa, ribeira do BanabuiÃ, hoje SertÃo Central do CearÃ, os pedidos eram justificados em sua maioria pelos serviÃos prestados nas guerras justas contra os gentios e como justificativa econÃmica da ocupaÃÃo nas fazendas de criar. Em seguida procuro analisar a constituiÃÃo e desenvolvimento histÃrico das fazendas de criar e as articulaÃÃes familiares e econÃmicas que propiciaram a formaÃÃo desta elite proprietÃria de terras, gados e escravos. / This research intends to analyze the colonial elite process of formation in the Hinterlands of MombaÃa, situated in the Captaincy of Siarà Grande, along the XVIIIth century. For this purpose, I have looked at the means that enabled the establishment of these colonial elite, such as, the grant allotments procedures, the justifications provided by its applicants, the individual or collective nature of the requests, and the social background of those who received allotments. Those aspects herein examined served to identify the patterns which were presented by the recipients to justify such endowment.
Specifically about the Hinterlands of MombaÃa, located on the banks of the river Banabuià in the Hinterlands Central CearÃ, the applications were mostly justified for the military services rendered in the so-called fair-wars (Guerras Justas) against the indigenous nations and also as economic justification for the inlands occupations through the opening up cattle ranches.
Then, I seek to analyze the configuration and the historical development of those cattle ranches, the family agreements and the economical joints that favored the formation of these local colonial elite whose economic strength was based on the ownership of lands, cattle and slaves.
