Descripción
Sumario:This article aims to explain the place for black women in contemporary society, taking into account the roles they occupy in the world of work, seeking to understand the similarities and differences experienced by black women who perform domestic work, and who occupy prestigious positions in leadership positions. This reflection is around the way in which, in an objective and subjective way, the capitalist system benefits from keeping black women in a social place of subordination from the intersection of multiple oppressions. This article articulates data from the research by Carvalho (2019) and Santos (2020) aiming to understand the concrete and symbolic violence experienced by this group of women who, considering the patriarchal and cisheteronormative structure, continues, throughout history, to occupy the base of the pyramid even when they ascend in the world of work.
