Narrativas de mulheres negras quilombolas e os sentidos da saúde-doença-cuidado como processos de resistências

Abstract

The present work is a master's research, where we consider the quilombo as a territory of collective use, which allows the exercise of a community life in bonds of solidarity between its residents. We believe in the importance of the voices of black quilombola women and in the investment of narratives, as a strategy that makes the production of knowledge visible. From the objective, which is to investigate the meanings of health-disease-care and the resistance process of the Quilombola Linharinho Community, we opted for the analyticalmethodological methodology to present the life stories of quilombola women, which are articulated among themselves, that is , the "Escrevivências", coined by Conceição Evaristo, as a method of investigation, production of knowledge and implied positionality, marked by forms of domination that include separations, displacements and dismemberments. In the field research, three black quilombola women participated, considering the challenges of listening to the narratives and composition of writings, the focus was on health-disease-care as processes of resistance and ancestry and the significant use of medicinal herbs. From the collected writings, we consider the need to restructure the Health Care Networks in the quilombola community of Linharinho, as the relationship is fragile with regard to the care of quilombola women, consequently, it is necessary to organize the assistance at the points of care attention within the Community, because to gain access they need to take a bus, travel to Conceição da Barra or São Mateus and sometimes, even with attendance sheets, the appointments are cancelled. It becomes necessary, therefore, a greater investment by the State for the implantation and implementation of more effective public health policies, above all to meet the realities and needs of black quilombola women, aimed at strengthening Primary Care in the quilombola community.
