Summary: | Ethnic-racial disparity is a disturbing adversity that is present in the current context of Brazilian society. During the New Coronavirus pandemic, different countries around the world pointed out the relationship between this and other socioeconomic vulnerabilities and mortality from the virus. This research aimed to analyze and substantiate how an ethnic-racial disparity was present during the COVID-19 pandemic, contextualizing the problem from the analysis of two medium-sized cities located in Rio Grande do Sul: Rio Grande, RS and Pelotas, RS. The article was based on the hypothetical-deductive approach method, with the use of the bibliographic research technique together with the case study, in which the general mortality rates of the population and the mortality stratified among whites, blacks and browns were estimated, based on data from the Civil Registry of Deaths in the cities mentioned. The results obtained in the present study show higher mortality rates among blacks than among whites (an increase of 36% in Rio Grande and 46% in Pelotas), similarly to results obtained in other studies that investigated Brazilian metropolises. In the meantime, the findings of this study expand the issue of ethnic-racial disparity in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic beyond the large Brazilian metropolises and highlight a structural problem in medium-sized cities. |

Durante a pandemia do Novo Coronavírus, diferentes países do mundo apontaram a relação entre esta e outras vulnerabilidades socioeconômicas e a mortalidade pelo vírus. A presente pesquisa objetivou analisar e fundamentar como a disparidade étnico-racial se fez presente durante a pandemia da COVID-19 contextualizando a problemática a partir da análise em duas cidades de médio porte, localizadas no Rio Grande do Sul: Rio Grande-RS e Pelotas-RS. O artigo foi baseado no método de abordagem hipotético-dedutivo, com participação da técnica de pesquisa bibliográfica junto ao estudo de caso, em que foram estimadas as taxas de mortalidade geral da população e as estratificadas entre brancos, pretos e pardos, baseadas nos dados do Registro Civil de Óbitos das cidades referidas. Os resultados obtidos no presente estudo apontam taxas de mortalidade entre pretos superiores às taxas entre os brancos (aumento de 36% em Rio Grande e 46% em Pelotas), similares a resultados obtidos em outros estudos que investigaram metrópoles brasileiras. Nesse ínterim, os achados deste estudo ampliam a problemática da disparidade étnico-racial no contexto da pandemia da COVID-19, para além das grandes metrópoles brasileiras, e evidenciam um problema estrutural em cidades de médio porte.Universidade Federal de Uberlândia2022-06-09info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/sociedadenatureza/article/view/6400910.14393/SN-v34-2022-64009Sociedade & Natureza; Vol. 34 No. 1 (2022): Sociedade & Natureza; v. 34 n. 1 (2022): 1982-45130103-1570reponame:Sociedade & natureza (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)instacron:UFUporenghttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/sociedadenatureza/article/view/64009/34009https://seer.ufu.br/index.php/sociedadenatureza/article/view/64009/34010Copyright (c) 2021 Diuster Franceschi Gariboti, Flavio Manoel Rodrigues Silva Júniorhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGariboti, Diuster FranceschiSilva Júnior, Flavio Manoel Rodrigues2023-04-06T20:32:29Zoai:ojs.www.seer.ufu.br:article/64009Revistahttp://www.sociedadenatureza.ig.ufu.br/PUBhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/sociedadenatureza/oai||sociedade.natureza.ufu@gmail.com|| lucianamelo@ufu.br1982-45130103-1570opendoar:2023-04-06T20:32:29Sociedade & natureza (Online) - Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)false |
