Abstract
ABSTRACT The socio-historical process in Brazil is crossed by racism and the agrarian issues, as both are part of the same structural dimension. Thus, the understanding of racism is essential to apprehend the social determination process of racial inequalities in health. This action research had as general objective to analyze the interference of racism in the health-disease-care process of rural black families and, more specifically, to describe the children’s group intervention activities. Primary data were used: field diaries and other documents prepared by the Resident Team; and secondary data: the Participatory Rural Appraisal as a tool of systematization in territorialization. This shared action between professionals residents in Family Health Care and settlement dwellers, located in Caruaru (PE), was developed from the popular health education focusing on health promotion and facing racism as a transversal axis. In this sense, the Family Health team is a powerful tool for promoting Healthy and Sustainable Territories by confronting racism in its non-biocentered issues, with the use of low technology, transdisciplinary, strengthening black identities and building health as recommended in health policies and the Sustainable Development Goals.
Highlights
Preliminary data from the 2017 Agricultural and Livestock Census of rural producers in Brazil show the majority presence of blacks (52%)[1]
It is essential to relate the fact that Brazil is the last country to abolish slavery, has a record in land concentration (1% of rural landowners own 45% of arable land) and has the majority of the black population in poverty condition[2,3]
The EPS, as a political-pedagogical tool, proposes the development of new relationships based on dialogue, the appreciation of popular knowledge and the search for insertion in the dynamics of the territory, with cultural identity as the foundation of the education process[19,20]
Summary
Preliminary data from the 2017 Agricultural and Livestock Census of rural producers in Brazil show the majority presence of blacks (52%)[1]. Given the importance of territoriality in the construction of TSS, this agenda has been prioritized in social and development policy guidelines, which includes AB and, more recently, the negotiation of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that make up the so-called 2030 Agenda, prepared by the international society with the support of the United Nations (UN)[13]. From this perspective, this study was developed and guided from the territory’s needs. This article had as general objective to analyze the interference of racism in the health-disease-care process of black families living in rural areas and, to describe the intervention activities carried out in the group of children, using popular health education, having the fight against racism as a transversal axis
