Abstract

This dissertation deals with the slavery of man today, where we can see that capitalism and economic globalization continue their subjugating those living exclusively from their workforce. In examining contemporary slavery in Brazil, we seek to understand slavery as a mechanism of accumulation of capital that prevails in Brazilian society by imposing just an economic condition unfavorable to thousands of workers, deprivation of liberty and generating social underdevelopment. Currently, the world economic globalization requires a new international division of labor that makes some countries mere exporters of primary products and agricultural commodities that are produced at the expense of slave labor, especially in poorer regions such as in the Amazon region, notably in Araguaia-Tocantins region, where agribusiness enslaving poor workers in Brazil, when they try to get some form of sustenance to their families. Given this situation, there is the struggle of CPT (Pastoral Land Commission) that has consistently struggled to combat slave labor, Brazilian law enforcing worker protection, as well as helping thousands of people who find themselves in this situation and humiliating unworthy.
