Throughout Brazil, Afro-Brazilians face widespread racial prejudice. Many turn to religion, with Afro-Brazilians disproportionately represented among Protestants, the fastest-growing religious group in the country. Officially, Brazilian Protestants do not involve themselves in racial politics. Behind the scenes, however, the community is deeply involved in the formation of different kinds of blackness—and its engagement in racial politics is rooted in the major new cultural movement of black music. In this highly original account, anthropologist John Burdick explores the complex ideas about race, racism, and racial identity that have grown up among Afro-Brazilians in the black music scene....
The book addresses contemporary challenges related to chronicity in the context of life and health. The book is structured across 11 core axes to aid healthcare professionals in understanding the topic. The axes address issues such as health promotion and quality of life, the transition from ephemerality to chronicity throughout life, the presence of chronicity in childhood and adolescence, violence against transgender people, the coexistence of communicable and non-communicable chronic diseases in the community, work-related chronic diseases, chronicity in the elderly, and strategies for sustainable development in this context. It discusses the importance of palliative care for patients facing finitude and explores the role of spirituality in coping with chronicity. In summary, the book aims to present a comprehensive and multidimensional perspective on chronicity, providing valuable insights for the teaching, research, extension, and care sectors.
A obra busca compreender as particularidades dos contextos rurais remotos brasileiros, tendo em vista a organização e provisão da Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS), alinhada aos princípios basilares do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). O livro é composto de 14 capítulos distribuídos em três partes, além da Introdução. Cada capítulo trata de temas diversos envolvidos no acesso e na organização da APS nos diferentes cenários da pesquisa e relacionados com dificuldades presentes em todos os territórios do estudo. A obra instiga o interesse acerca de realidades tão singulares, pouco exploradas, por vezes invisibilizadas e não dimensionadas no financiamento, planejamento e execução de políticas públicas. Fruto do esforço do grupo de pesquisa interdisciplinar e interinstituicional do CNPq, Pesquisas em Atenção Primária à Saúde, o estudo é decorrente do Programa Nacional de Melhoria do Acesso e da Qualidade da Atenção Básica (Pmaq-AB) do Ministério da Saúde, em cooperação com a Fiocruz.
