Racismo, colonialidade do poder e trabalho doméstico remunerado no Brasil

Abstract:

This article aims to discuss the implications of the race dimension on paid domestic work in Brazil. Based on bibliographic and documental research and under a critical and dialectical theoretical- methodological matrix, the discussion of race will be approached as an expression of the coloniality of power. Beyond colonialism, the coloniality of power is situated in the context of the reproduction of the capitalist system on a global scale, which demarcates the places and social relations of power, command and subordination between subjects, peoples, ethnicities, nations and countries. There is a significant impact of the racial dimension of this coloniality of power on the conditions of paid domestic work in this country. The history of slow recognition of social and labor rights for this category of workers, as an inflection of the racial dimension, remains today, resulting in little access to labor rights and the social security protection system.
