Quem não tem é escravo de quem tem: migração camponesa e a reprodução do trabalho escravo contemporâneo

Abstract

Analyze the migration of workers from subordinate spaces to labor attraction spaces in Brazil, as well as the reproduction of contemporary slave labor in country and the role that Maranhão has this process. For this research, support me in Marxist dialectics to carry out investigation of the mode of production in the context of the whole. We do literature review, linked to search for data on secondary sources. We Also field research in the municipalities of Açailândia, Peritoró, St. Helena, Esperantinópolis, Codó, Palmeirândia, Coroatá, conducting interviews with municipal secretaries, social workers of municipalities, collection of migrant workers and rescued reports and participation in events organized by entities and organizations of rural workers in Bacabal, Balsas and Pedreiras. The discussion of migration and slave labor refers to the existence of subaltern spaces, where labor displacement stems from the vulnerability of the migrant population to degrading activities or to be recruited for the contemporary slave labor. The Maranhão has shown to be one of the great slave labor issuers in Brazil, presenting data that place it first as exporter of workers who are recruited. This practice of the labor force crackdown highlights one of the contradictions of the mobilization of the workforce by activities in areas of capital expansion that appear as a symbol of modernity in Brazil. This type of work means the curtailment of freedom of hand work that has its workforce released by the capitalist ownership of the means of production. It is part of the modernity of contemporary capitalism, it is necessary for breeding, especially in the Brazilian dependent capitalism. The contemporary slave labor exposes capitalism as a mode of production that appropriates non-capitalist forms to reproduce and expand.
