Abstract:

Is it possible to discuss humanization in health without giving centrality to the expressions of racism in health-illness processes? Would it be possible to think of humanized care practices without considering structural and institutional racism in health? An affirmative answer to one of these questions reinforces the current myth of Brazilian racial democracy, which prevents usrecognizing or validating how much racism is present in our society and produces unequal experiences of living, getting sick and dying for the black population, which accounts for more than 56% of the Brazilian population. In this article, I seek, in dialogue with Ayres\' production on Happiness Projects and healthcare, to reflect on the production of health care in the Brazilian context, considering structural racism and the prevailing myth of racial democracy in the centrality of this care production. As a health institution aiming to guarantee health as a right to citizenship, should we commit to projects of happiness or enable and support emancipation and freedom projects?
