0058/2023 - Para além do Racismo Institucional? Uma análise do conteúdo da Política de Saúde para a População Negra Beyond Institutional Racism? An analysis of the content of the Health Policy for the Black Population
O conceito de Racismo Institucional (RI) ganha ênfase ao final dos anos 1990 e nos anos 2000, tornando-se assim um dos termos centrais na discussão sobre o racismo e a Saúde da População Negra. No Brasil, esta categoria influencia hegemonicamente a compreensão do racismo nos estudos e debates na saúde. O objetivo deste artigo é analisar a incorporação do conceito de RI no Brasil, no âmbito de implementação da Política Nacional de Saúde Integral da População Negra. O presente estudo caracterizou-se por uma abordagem qualitativa e como um estudo de caso. Foram analisados documentos governamentais do Ministério da Saúde e do Instituto de Pesquisa Econômica. Embora o ingresso formal da discussão sobre o RI na agenda de políticas públicas no início do século XXI represente uma grande conquista, apreender isoladamente este fato leva à desconsideração da interação dialética entre as formas individuais, institucionais e estruturais no desumanizante processo de racialização. Assim, o combate ao RI depende da capacidade de enfrentamento aos motivos que levam as instituições a reproduzirem o racismo e suas consequências no acesso à moradia, ao trabalho, à educação e consequentemente, a serviços e ações de saúde.

Abstract:
The concept of Institutional Racism (IR) gained emphasis at the end of the 1990s and in the 2000s, thus becoming one of the central terms in the discussion on racism and the Health of the Black Population. In Brazil, this category has a hegemonic influence on the understanding of racism in health studies and debates. The objective of this article is to analyze the incorporation of the IR concept in Brazil, within the scope of implementation of the National Policy for Comprehensive Health of the Black Population. The present study was characterized by a qualitative approach and as a case study. Government documentsthe Ministry of Health and the Institute of Applied Economic Research were analyzed. Although the formal entry of the discussion about IR into the public policy agenda at the beginning of the 21st century represents a great achievement, apprehending this fact in isolation leads to disregard of the dialectical interaction between individual, institutional and structural forms in the dehumanizing process of racialization. Thus, combating IR depends on the ability to face the reasons that lead institutions to reproduce racism and its consequences on access to housing, work, education and, consequently, health services and actions.
