“…8. Analysts and policymakers in Brazil often refer to race-conscious health policy as a non-quota-based form of "affirmative action" in health care (e.g., Maio et al 2010 2011). Race categories are stated in the feminine gender on the Brazilian census since they correspond to the question, "Quaĺ e sua raça ou cor?"…”

In 2006, Brazil approved a groundbreaking policy aimed at reducing significant racial health inequalities among its citizens. Like health disparities programs in the United States, Brazil's policy is based on the assumptions that racial identity and racism are important health determinants and that citizens who identify as "black" suffer disproportionately from a number of health problems. How do these assumptions compare to Brazilian citizens' conceptions of racial identity and health inequalities? To address this question, I present ethnographic data from two years of fieldwork in Brazilian public clinics and low-income neighborhoods. I show that a majority of research participants made no connection between race and better or worse health. Of those who perceived health inequalities by race, most believed that white Brazilians had more health problems than black or brown Brazilians. Finally, I consider the implications of these ethnographic findings for Brazil's health disparities campaign.

“…As actors, they can make choices and produce realities, whether by engendering and disseminating values and norms or through direct institutional initiative. This also means these organizations operate according to the worldviews and interests of their bureaucracies; thus, they cannot be regarded merely as places where meanings and interests that arise outside their institutional figurations and histories find echo or space (Maio et al, 2010(Maio et al, , p.1274.…”

“…The interests of their internal bureaucracies may also be expressed within this same competitive environment, thereby necessitating the adoption of strategies to convince others and to garner legitimacy (Maio et al, 2010(Maio et al, , p.1274. Playing this twofold role of relevant actor and arena of negotiation, an intergovernmental organization can be seen as somewhat akin to a nation-state, and this holds true when it comes to examining processes of public policy formulation and implementation.…”

The article explores the ideas of Pan American Health Organization director Abraham Horwitz on the relations between health and development at the time the Alliance for Progress was established, in 1961. Taking development discourse as a public philosophy of international cooperation, the discussion centers on how Horwitz worked to mediate between health and development. Horwitz endeavored to establish arguments that highlighted the importance of social policy, especially in health; he also strove to reach different audiences and drew connections between elements like health, illness, and labor productivity, without ignoring the humanistic considerations so dear to the public health tradition.Keywords: history of health policy; development and health; international health; history of the Pan American Health Organization.
