0309/2023 - VIOLÊNCIA E VULNERABILIZAÇÃO: O COTIDIANO DE JOVENS NEGROS E NEGRAS EM PERIFERIAS DE DUAS CAPITAIS BRASILEIRAS VIOLENCE AND VULNERABILITY: THE EVERYDAY LIFE OF BLACK YOUTH IN SUBURBS OF TWO BRAZILIAN CAPITAL CITIES
A violência é um grave problema de saúde pública e se constitui um fenômeno sócio-histórico, com causas e consequências diversas e múltiplas expressões. As principais vítimas seguem sendo as populações vulnerabilizadas e periféricas, nas quais se interseccionam dimensões como gênero, classe, raça e pertencimento social. Embora as questões étnico-raciais estejam presentes nos estudos que explicam o fenômeno da violência, estes tendem a não considera-la também fruto do racismo institucional. Este artigo pretende analisar dados de uma pesquisa quali-quanti que avaliou experiências de violência simbólica e estrutural vivenciadas por jovens negros/as, de 15 a 29 anos e moradores/as de bairros periféricos de duas capitais brasileiras - Recife e Fortaleza, a partir de grupos focais e entrevistas semiestruturadas. Foram enfatizados os lugares de fala que situavam a interseccionalidade, sobretudo de raça/cor da pele, pertencimento territorial e classe, na própria definição identitária. Em ambas as capitais a juventude negra trouxe à tona uma realidade comum: um horizonte limitado na definição de projetos de vida, tanto por questões econômicas, quanto da demarcação concreta ou simbólica de lugares sociais para os quais seu acesso é interditado.
Violence is a serious public health issue and accounts for a socio-historical phenomenon with various causes and consequences, as well as multiple expressions. The main victims continue to be vulnerable and marginalized populations, in which dimensions such as gender, class, race, and social belonging intersect. Although ethnic and racial issues are present in studies that explain the phenomenon of violence, they tend to not consider it as also stemminginstitutional racism. This article aims to analyze dataqualitative-quantitative research that evaluated experiences of symbolic and structural violence experienced by young Black individuals, aged 15 to 29, residing in peripheral neighborhoods of two Brazilian capitals - Recife and Fortaleza. This analysis is based on focus groups and semi-structured interviews. The focus was on understanding the intersectionality, especially concerning race/skin color, territorial belonging, and class, in the very definition of identity. In both capitals, the Black youth brought to light a common reality: a limited horizon in defining life projects, constrained by economic issues as well as the concrete or symbolic marking of social spaces to which their access is denied.
