“A Mulher Negra Periférica No Mundo Do Trabalho Na Obra ‘Quarto De Despejo’ de Carolina Maria De Jesus”

Abstract

This article aims to identify some considerations about the place of black women in the world of work, based on the analysis of the diaries of the writer Carolina Maria de Jesus, published in the work 'Quarto de Despejo' in 1960. From the contributions of micro-history and Literature, it is possible to move bodies and characters to the category of subject, understanding that their expressions and ways of signifying their subjectivity have value for understanding social dynamics and precise contexts. In this way, the relationship with the category of work runs through Carolina's work from beginning to end, in a precarious relationship that links such practice to the search for survival.
