Um olhar interseccional sobre a saúde das mulheres negras do Bairro da Massaranduba

Abstract

This course completion work (TCC) comes from my concerns as a resident of the Massaranduba neighborhood and student of Social Work, whose objective was to understand the health of black women, poor in peripheral territory, from the intersectional view of the race categories , gender, class and territory, and how these interactions reverberate in the health-disease process of black women living in the neighborhood of Massaranduba, located in the Itapagipe peninsula, based on the decolonial conception of black feminist epistemologies, which deal with the view that no one better than us, to describe the reality we are inserted in, as well as the theoretical support of a dialectical Marxist approach to understand how the social determinants of health, these historical and social structures, contribute to the illness of black women from colonialism to the segregation of bodies on the periphery. Thus, the research presented here unfolds from the documentary study, where I sought through a retrospective path to understand what it is to be a black woman, to understand the effects of racism in contemporary times and how this is determinant for the health-disease process of women black woman living in Massaranduba.
