Summary: Inserting itself in the discussion about the legacies of colonialism present in the structures of domestic work in Brazil, this study aims to produce research that aims to describe colonialities inscribed in the spoken experiences of domestic work of black housekeepers in Espírito Santo. To achieve this, the study is based on theoretical categories that support the
debate in the field of social sciences, with highlights and approaches to the field of organizational theories, which address race/ethnicity, masculinities and colonialities. From readings that deal with racial relations in society and their consequences at work, especially domestic work, we move on to problematizing the object in question, which is sustained in view of the social reality that marks black men and their precarious experiences in the world of work. In this way, the theoretical framework starts from the understanding of how much colonial marks are present in the lives and work of these subjects, who are associated by racism with the stereotype of violent, brutish, roguish, insolent, incapable and other pejorative
terms produced in the context of colonial and patriarchal relations characteristic of Western Eurocentrism. As assumptions, studies that characterize colonialist legacies that come close to practices characteristic of slavery, and gain momentum in labor relations, especially those of black people. Methodologically, a qualitative research was developed that involved the
author's own writings (Conceição Evaristo's concept of writings), the production of field diaries to capture the conversations of black housekeepers, considering in this process the inspiration in the tradition of African orality. This study makes a contribution that adds to the efforts of researchers in the area of Organizational Theories regarding domestic work and its
racialization, two themes that are still secondary in the field of Administration. The results allowed us to verify the remnants of the colonialities of being, knowledge and power that mark the experiences and are hidden in the naturalization of the black man's place in society and in the world of work.
