Resumo: The political propositions in health for the black population have a recent history in the Brazilian political setting, with a special highlight to the National Program on Sickle Cell Anemia. This program is an output of political actions launched by the black movement on behalf of the recognition of sickle cell anemia as prevalent disease among Brazilian black population. Discourses on the sickle cell anemia have been built in the core of that political action, stressing, based in biological and epidemiological assumptions, the racial character of this disease. The objective of this article is to criticize those assumptions, emphasizing the ethical implications of disease racialization.

Esse programa é o resultado das ações políticas do movimento negro em prol do reconhecimento da anemia falciforme como uma doença prevalente na população negra brasileira. No seio dessa ação política foram elaborados discursos sobre a anemia falciforme que ressaltam, a partir de pressupostos biológicos e epidemiológicos, o caráter racial dessa doença. O propósito deste artigo é criticar tais pressupostos, enfatizando as implicações éticas decorrentes da racialização das doenças.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2006-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/article/view/S0104-026X200600010001310.1590/S0104-026X2006000100013Revista Estudos Feministas; Vol. 14 No. 1 (2006); 243Revista Estudos Feministas; Vol. 14 Núm. 1 (2006); 243Revista Estudos Feministas; v. 14 n. 1 (2006); 2431806-95840104-026Xreponame:Revista Estudos Feministasinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/article/view/S0104-026X2006000100013/7612Copyright (c) 2018 Revista Estudos Feministasinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessLaguardia, Josué2020-01-30T08:47:25Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/8297Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/oai||ref@cfh.ufsc.br1806-95840104-026Xopendoar:2022-11-21T11:37:25.033382Revista Estudos Feministas - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)true
