| Resumo: | The present work aims to outline an initial reflection on a very common situation, but not densely analyzed by the literature of Brazilian social sciences: the case of black and poor girls who have their childhood and youth stolen to work in their godparents' house, these often belonging to the local elites. For this, I trace the life story of Val, who at the age of nine went to live with her godmother and, based on her, I reflect on how this kinship strategy based on godparenthood acts as an update of racial domination in the post-abolition Brazil. |
