In 1969 a German company, Badishe Anilin und Sodafabrik (BASF), sited a petrochemical facility in Beaufort County, South Carolina. Protests broke out, largely led by Charles E. Fraser, a man well-known for developing Beaufort County's Hilton Head Island into a famous Southern resort community. However, Beaufort's black residents largely supported the construction of the facility, an act that has been traditionally reduced to their attempts to secure jobs. Given that the majority of Beaufort's black residents lived in such poor conditions that they suffered myriad diseases, this paper argues that black Americans were instead engaged in ecological struggles within the confines of their homes.

The Association of Workers Exposed to Chemical Substances - AEWCS (Associa??o de Trabalhadores Expostos a Subst?ncias Qu?micas ATESQ) studied group in the research gathers contaminated ex-workers in the labor process in a manufacturing plant in the city of Paul?nia initially belonging to Shell. In order to better comprehend the study object, it is used a marxist basis, recognizing, therefore, that the social system which this association is inserted is marked by a class struggle dynamics, in which the workers have their labor explored by the owner of the production means. Alienation and Ideology were used as key elements to the analysis. in order to contextualize the studied group, it is presented the constitution of the theoretical field about the Workers Health and the history of struggles for public politics in this field in Brazil. with respect to the method, the research was oriented by the Dialectical Historical-Materialism and ethnographic inspiration technics were used, which the researcher observed and participated the group meetings in a period of 15 months. In the results are described a great variety of aspects observed in the field in order to subsidize the consciousness analysis, such as the factory experience, the group operation, the judicial process, the psychosocial consequences of contamination and the relation between the group and politics. The analysis indicates the procedural and conflicting nature of consciousness, confirming the literature. It is also sought to elucidate the effects of some elements in the consciousness process, such as the business discourse, the judicialization and the financialization as struggle goals. They are examples of elements that would behave as embarrassments to the workers organization to the development of the consciousness process. On the other hand it is reaffirmed the AEWCS s (ATESQ) role in he disideologization and in the disalienation of its members. Lastly it is presented a reflection about the different kinds of relations between the consciousness process and the suffering experienced by the workers. / A pesquisa teve com objetivo estudar como se da o processo de consci?ncia em um movimento de trabalhadores em luta por sa?de e qual o papel da organiza??o do grupo neste processo. A associa??o de Trabalhadores Expostos a subst?ncias Qu?micas (ATESQ) grupo estudado na pesquisa aglutina ex-trabalhadores contaminados no processo de trabalho em uma planta Fabril da cidade de Paul?nia inicialmente pertencente ? Shell. Para compreens?o do objeto de estudo, parte-se de um olhar marxista, reconhecendo, portanto, que o sistema social em que essa associa??o est? inserida, ? marcado por uma din?mica de luta de classes, na qual os trabalhadores t?m seu trabalho explorado pelos propriet?rios dos meios de produ??o. S?o usados como elementos chave para a an?lise a Aliena??o e Ideologia. Para contextualizar o grupo estudado, ? apresentada a constitui??o do campo te?rico da Sa?de do Trabalhador e um hist?rico das lutas por pol?ticas p?blicas na ?rea. Com rela??o ao m?todo, a pesquisa se orientou pelo Materialismo Hist?rico Dial?tico e utilizou uma t?cnica de inspira??o etnogr?fica, na qual o pesquisador acompanhou as reuni?es do grupo durante um per?odo de 15 meses. Nos resultados s?o descritos diversos aspectos observados no campo visando a subsidiar a an?lise da consci?ncia, tais como A viv?ncia na f?brica, o funcionamento do grupo ,o processo judicial as consequ?ncias psicossociais da contamina??o e a rela??o entre o grupo e a pol?tica. A an?lise indica o car?ter contradit?rio e processual da consci?ncia, corroborando a literatura. Tamb?m se busca elucidar o efeito de alguns elementos no processo de consci?ncia, como o discurso empresarial, a judicializa??o e a financeiriza??o como objetivos da luta, que s?o exemplos de elementos que funcionariam como empecilho ? organiza??o dos trabalhadores ao avan?o no processo de consci?ncia. Por outro lado, ? reafirmado o papel da ATESQ na desideologiza??o e na desaliena??o dos seus membros. Por fim ? apresentada uma reflex?o sobre as diferentes rela??es entre o processo de consci?ncia e o sofrimento vivido pelos trabalhadores.
