Abstract
The Marketplace and Form of Domination - The ethnographical analysis of the Serro-Azul marketplace, located in the middle of a big sugar plantation in the Nordeste, Brazil, casts doubt on the widely accepted idea that market relationships rime with freedom and open doors toward the world. Following a description of its historical, social and institutional context, the market is shown to be a way of restoring the senhors traditional domination over the morador. The concentration of land-holdings and the appearance of new actors in the local context threatens this form of domination.
