Trabalho escravizado contemporâneo: uma análise sobre a exploração do trabalhador rural no Piauí (2017- 2022)

Abstract

This article analyzes the contemporary enslaved labor, in particular the advancement of rural worker exploitation in Piauí, from 2017 to 2022. This delimitation results from the significant growth in the number of flagrant workers subjected to slavery in the period 2022. The methodology adopted was social cartography, with the purpose of verifying the cases and understanding how the problem manifests itself in the state of Piauí. In the theoretical field, we take as reference the contributions of some authors such as Clóvis Moura (1988 and 2001), Jacob Gorender (2016) and Solimar Oliveira Lima (2016). As regards the sources, we analyzed inspection reports, records of cases found in magazine reports, portals and data provided by the Public Ministry of Labor (MPT) and the Ministry of Labor and Employment (MPE), through which it was possible to understand what factors characterize contemporary slavery in Piauí territory and the way this is projected on the rural worker.
