| Resumo: | The objective was to analyze the events considered stressful by black elders. Eleven self-declared black elderly people participated (9 women and 2 men), aged between 60 and 83 years. The methodological strategy used was the narrative interview and the analysis was performed according to the qualitative analysis method proposed by Schutze. The events experienced before old age involved conflict and violence in the marital relationship, illness, work, death and mourning, material restrictions, family and racial discrimination. In old age, themes of health and autonomy, descent, affectivity and social support, discrimination and material conditions permeated. It was observed that the experiences that occurred throughout life presented non-normative events marked by the social context of development of the black and female population. Old age events encompassed situations found in other studies with the elderly population in general and events related to racism in force since youth. |
