ANJOS, Juarez José Tuchinski dos. ^{_{In the lap of mother Faustina: a slave nurse and the education of children by the families in the 19th century}}. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2016, n.60, pp.199-214. ISSN 1984-0411.  https://doi.org/10.1590/0104-4060.44007.

This paper aims at identifying the educational practices engendered by slave nurses within the families and how such practices may have become educational practices of children under their care. The study covered the decade of 1870 in the city of Paranaguá, Province of Paraná. Documentary sources consisted of reports written by members of the Correia family, which preserved in the family memories evidences of the education given by the nurse Faustina to little Leocádio Cysneiros Correia, who was born in 1876. The first part of the paper presents interpretations of some traces of the life of the slave Faustina within the Correia family; the second part presents analyses of the educational practices that she and other slave nurses seemingly used in the education of children within the families in the 19th century.

Keywords : slave nurses; education; family; Paraná; 19^th century.
