Tráfico de pessoas negras brasileiras e o trauma da memória ancestral

Abstract

This article aims to discuss the implications of colonization on the trafficking of black Brazilian people in contemporary times, based on the concept that I call “trauma of ancestral memory”. Seeking ways to address a journey that will not be forgotten, I propose an embodied and embodied writing in writing as a methodological tool to discuss the importance/influence of intersectionality and the problems that produce trafficking. In view of the racism and sexism that have affected the lives of black Brazilian women since slavery, I discuss the modality of trafficking of black women for the purposes of sexual exploitation. Thus, I defend the implications of something that may not have been experienced firsthand, such as the transatlantic trafficking, but is alive and buried in our psyche, established as a trauma. This work can therefore contribute to highlighting the issue of human trafficking, with questions and provocations about the silencing that hangs over the subject.
