Slave labor opened during the colonization of Brazil, is still present today. Even in the
twenty-first century, it is commonplace knowledge of news and evidence of the
incidence of exploitation of workers in conditions analogous to slavery. The new
panorama of slave labor brings new causes, different bondages and the most cruel
forms of exploitation of human beings. In the case of Amazon, research, data, and
studies have shown that in the region linked to deforestation activities are directly
related to the incidence of submitting workers to conditions analogous to slavery.
Despite the government announced emergency measures to combat deforestation,
such measures have been inefficient to reverse this historical trend. In this context,
the State of Pará is not oblivious to this reality, presenting itself as an area of serious
conflict, not only by land issues and predatory and illegal logging, as well as by the
high rates of deforestation and serious violations human rights, factors that have
effects even more worrying in areas difficult to access as the Archipelago Marajó.
The scope of this study is to analyze the relationship between labor analogous to
slavery with the dynamics of deforestation in the Amazon, especially with a case
study that relates to logging and cases of labor analogous to slavery in the territory of
the Archipelago Marajó.
