Depois de analisar, em 'Casa-grande & senzala', a formação da família e da sociedade brasileira, Gilberto Freyre expõe em 'Sobrados e mucambos', toda a decadência do patriarcado rural entre os séculos XVIII e XIX que, enfraquecida com o declínio da escravidão e pressionada pelas forças da modernidade vindas do exterior, perde espaço, prestígio e poder. A aristocracia se vê obrigada a trocar as casas-grandes por sobrados urbanos, enquanto seus ex-escravos se alojam em casas de pau-a-pique nos bairros pobres da cidade. ( )
