This article aims to analyze how racialization of bodies, intersecting with markers of gender and classes, serves as a structuring element of contemporary forms of enslavement, with a particular focus on domestic slave labor. Thus, it investigates how racism and sexism intertwine to produce and to legitimize the persistent exploitation of Black women in reproductive labor. It argues that the historical naturalization of these inequalities – a legacy of the slave-based colonial regime - contributes to a level of social and institutional tolerance, including by Judiciary, toward the structural violence experienced by these workers, eternally seems like “mucamas”.
