Encruzilhadas Culturais: direitos humanos e saúde mental das populações negras no Brasil

Encruzilhadas Culturais: direitos humanos e saúde mental das populações negras no Brasil

Abstract

Sinopse Por que tanta gente dorme nas calçadas enquanto prédios vazios encaram o céu? Por que tantos corpos negros adoecem silenciados e invisibilizados nas filas do SUS ou nas instituições psiquiátricas? Por que a rua, a prisão e a cova se impõem como o destino de tantos homens e mulheres negras no Brasil? Este livro nasce dessas perguntas e se recusa a respondê-las de forma apressada. Encruzilhadas Culturais: direitos humanos e saúde mental das populações negras do Brasil é um chamado a encarar aquilo que muitos insistem em não ver: o racismo como engrenagem estrutural do sofrimento psíquico, operando de modo contínuo na produção do adoecimento, na distribuição da dor e na definição dos destinos: quem é cuidado, quem é controlado, quem é descartado. Organizado pelo Prof. Dr. Seu João Xavier, este segundo volume reúne vozes que confluem dos becos, terreiros, quilombos, clínicas, hospitais e universidades. Intelectuais, profissionais da saúde, educadores e pesquisadoras e pesquisadores escrevem com a pele e com o chão, porque sabem que a razão, sozinha, não dá conta da dor nem da esperança. Cada capítulo se apresenta como uma encruzilhada entre políticas públicas, clínica, afeto e educação, denunciando violências e, ao mesmo tempo, afirmando possibilidades. Um convite à escuta e ao reconhecimento das vozes historicamente silenciadas, reafirmando que saúde mental também é território, também é memória, também é direito humano. Org. Seu João Xavier Synopsis Why do so many people sleep on sidewalks while empty buildings loom against the sky? Why do so many Black bodies fall ill in silence, rendered invisible in public healthcare lines or within psychiatric institutions? Why do the streets, the prison, and the grave become the fate imposed upon so many Black men and women in Brazil? This book emerges from these questions and refuses to answer them hastily. Encruzilhadas Culturais: Human Rights and Mental Health of Black Populations in Brazil is a call to confront what many insist on refusing to see: racism as a structural mechanism of psychological suffering, operating continuously in the production of illness, in the distribution of pain, and in the determination of destinies — who is cared for, who is controlled, and who is discarded. Organized by Prof. Dr. Seu João Xavier, this second volume brings together voices that converge from alleyways, terreiros, quilombos, clinics, hospitals, and universities. Intellectuals, healthcare professionals, educators, and researchers write with both skin and soil because they understand that reason alone cannot fully account for either pain or hope. Each chapter unfolds as a crossroads between public policy, clinical practice, affection, and education, denouncing violence while simultaneously affirming possibilities. An invitation to listen to and recognize historically silenced voices, reaffirming that mental health is also territory, also memory, and also a human right.
