Introduction From Ganhadores to Ambulantes: Slave Legacies and the Ambivalent Modernity of Street Commerce The title “From Ganhadores to Ambulantes” intentionally highlights two terms – ganhadores and ambulantes – in use at the turn of the nineteenth century to define street vendors, peddlers, and mobile street workers in the city of Rio de Janeiro (hereafter Rio). The term ganhador, or wage earner, specifically related to the system of ganho that organized enslaved and free street labor in Brazilian port cities such as Rio and Salvador da Bahia. Escravos ao ganho, or wage- earning slaves, as historians Mary Karasch, João José Reis, and Luis Carlos Soares have noted in their seminal works, plied their wares through city streets providing urban residents with basic goods like food, water, and household utensils. 1 With the gradual ending of slavery in Brazil, the ganho system progressively declined and so did the use of the term ganhador. The term ganhador would still be used in the early twentieth century, but by then most street sellers identified themselves as vendedores, vendedores ambulantes, 1 Mary C.
