"MINHA COR NÃO DESBOTA, NÃO DEIXA SE ABATER POR QUALQUER COISA": O HIATO ENTRE FORÇA E SOFRIMENTO EM HISTÓRIAS DE MULHERES NEGRAS.

Black women and men daily live violent experiences due to racism that directly impacts their lives. However, black women are exposed to specific conditions of this form of violence. In this sense, this article discusses how the black woman's body is perceived in the social bond as well as the stigmatized positions in which they are seen and the suffering resulting from them. For this, clinical-qualitative research was carried out, in which data collection took place from semi-structured interviews with nine women in a basic health unit in a city in North of Paraná. Data analysis took place through the thematic content analysis technique, using the theoretical framework of psychoanalysis for considerations. Thus, the categories of analysis were: The superpower position: strength and constant struggle; About being strange and familiar; Between slave labor and no place at work; and Questions about femininity, sexuality, and the body. Through the women's narratives, it is possible to perceive how the positions fixed in the social bond about the black woman's body impact their stories and how this suffering is often not accessed through words, leaving them unable to signify the pain caused.
