Resumo: | A Black Physician between Angola, Brazil and São Tomé and Príncipe (1830-1870)This paper analyzes the trajectory of Leonardo Africano Ferreira, black physician and “son of Angola.” The character speaks in the first person, based on sources such as his thesis presented at the Medical-Surgical School of Lisbon and a representation addressed to Angola’s governor-general in 1864. Its main argument is that African identity and the racial component mediated the experiences of the so-called “medical pluralism” in which Africano was inserted, especially within a bureaucratic and hierarchical context that, by the mid-nineteenth century, was established as a health policy for the continent. His professional and personal practices as a doctor-surgeon experienced in different places – Africa, Europe and America – provide elements to understand the inflection to the South Atlantic of subjects against the attempts of Portuguese sovereignty in Angolan territory in the second half of the nineteenth century. |

O personagem fala em primeira pessoa, a partir de fontes, tais como sua tese apresentada à Escola Médico-Cirúrgica de Lisboa e uma representação endereçada ao Governador-Geral de Angola em 1864. O argumento central do texto é de que a identidade africana e o componente racial mediaram as experiências do chamado “pluralismo médico” no qual Africano estava inserido, sobretudo dentro de um contexto burocrático e hierarquizado, que, em meados do século XIX, que se assentou como uma política sanitária para o continente. As práticas profissional e pessoal desse personagem como médico-cirurgião vivenciadas em diferentes espaços – África, Europa e América – proporcionam elementos para perceber a inflexão para o Atlântico Sul de sujeitos frente às tentativas de soberania portuguesa no território angolano na segunda metade do século XIX.UFBA2022-06-19info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionDouble-blid peer-reviewed articleArtigo avaliado por pares em regime de duplo anonimatoapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/afroasia/article/view/4544410.9771/aa.v0i65.45444Afro-Ásia; No. 65 (2022); 378-426Afro-Ásia; n. 65 (2022); 378-4261981-14110002-0591reponame:Afro-Ásia (Online)instname:Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA)instacron:UFBAporhttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/afroasia/article/view/45444/26894Copyright (c) 2022 Idalina Maria Almeida Freitashttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFreitas, Idalina Maria Almeida2022-06-27T21:06:11Zoai:ojs.periodicos.ufba.br:article/45444Revistahttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/afroasiaPUBhttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/afroasia/oaiafroasia@ufba.br1981-14110002-0591opendoar:2022-06-27T21:06:11Afro-Ásia (Online) - Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA)false |
