Abstract

This essay reflects on the current pandemic crisis of COVID-19, seeking to problematize it based on social inequalities in the city of Recife, in the Northeast region of Brazil. The method is analytical-reflective based on the spatialization of COVID-19, employing as a theoretical support the uneven geographic development within capitalist societies. We call attention to the unequal social susceptibilities and conditions of response to the pandemic crisis by the population, linked to the injustices present and (re)produced in the city.
