The text stimulates a reflection and discussion about other aspects concerning contemporary slavery in Brazil: the process of constructing masculinity carried out by young male rural workers who leave their family home to search for work and run into debt, together with the process of social uprooting that eliminates links with the family left behind and with the place of origin of these young men. Those processes increase their vulnerability and contribute to making their lives devoid of political value and social importance.
