          Abstract

          Os textos europeus do século XVII em geral conferem aos jagas papel determinante como elemento desagregador das populações centro-africanas, qualificando-os de selvagens, canibais e adeptos de práticas de idolatria. O objetivo do presente artigo é apresentar tais pontos de vista a partir do estudo dos rituais atribuídos aos jagas no tratado intitulado Istorica descrizione de tre regni, Congo, Matamba et Angola, de autoria do missionário capuchinho Giovanni Cavazzi de Montecúccolo. Tais rituais serão confrontados com as descrições a respeito do papel que os jagas desempenharam nas guerras do sertão africano durante o processo de conquista do Ndongo.

          Translated abstract

          The seventeenth-century European texts generally describe the Jaga role as a disruptive element of the peoples in the central Africa, calling them savages, cannibals and who practice idolatry. This paper presents to such view from the study of the rituals assigned to the Jaga in the Istorica descrizione tre regni, Congo, Matamba et Angola, by capuchin missionary Giovanni Cavazzi of Montecúccolo. Such rituals are faced with the descriptions about the role that Jaga played in the wars of the african hinterland during the conquest of Ndongo.
