| Summary: | It is noticeable that in the Brazilian social pyramid, black women are the group that suffers the most from the social impacts caused by a power structure that is patriarchal, elitist, sexist, misogynistic, racist and that acts with the aim of maintaining ongoing social inequalities, gender and, mainly, racial. The present study aims to develop the debate that involves the peculiar specificities of female domestic workers in situations of slavery, through exploratory bibliographical research, focused on the productions of Lélia Gonzalez, Juliana Teixeira and Beatriz Nascimento. Historical aspects of slavery in Brazil are evoked to illustrate the situation of the black population and, especially, of black women, while also addressing the updating of these mechanisms, bringing recent cases of domestic workers that translate into the myth of racial democracy, with the historical roots embedded in various expressions of servitude, slavery and colonialism, is closely linked to slave domestic work in Brazil. |
