Resumen


El abordaje de la interseccionalidad emergió a fines de la década de 1980, en el campo del activismo feminista negro en EEUU, como crítica a los análisis unidimensionales de las desigualdades sociales. Esta revisión narrativa descriptivo-analítica presenta el estado actual de la inclusión teórico-metodológica de la interseccionalidad en la salud pública. Se consultaron siete bases de bibliografía científica: Web of Science, Embase, Cinahl, Scopus, Sociological Abstracts, Lilacs y Medline, y se obtuvieron 1.763 artículos. Eliminados los duplicados y leídos los títulos y resúmenes, se seleccionaron 30 artículos producidos en cinco países entre 2006 y 2017. El análisis, estructurado en tres temas (debates teórico-metodológicos; marcadores sociales –género, raza, etnicidad, orientación sexual–; y políticas y prácticas de salud), muestra que la interseccionalidad es un recurso analítico prometedor para la comprensión y el enfrentamiento del desafío global de las desigualdades en salud.
