Abstract:

This paper reflects on the primary health care workers’ understanding of the intersections between racial relations and health. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with professionals in theState of Pernambuco, Brazil.. The data were analyzed in light of the discussions with focus on the racial theme. The results point to divergences between different health models, to the invisibility of race/color in training and in professional performances, and to whiteness as a structuring element of race relations. The study reaffirms the need of the public health field to focus on the intersection between the issue race/color and health care relationships and invest in the training of professionals regarding race discussions.

Keywords:
