%X Apesar da exist¨ºncia de uma consider¨¢vel literatura sobre a hist¨®ria da hansen¨ªase, predominam os estudos que enfocam a opress o e a domina  o a que os antigos pacientes foram submetidos. Permanecem pouco estudadas as formas de resist¨ºncia e as lutas pol¨ªticas geradas por esses sujeitos. O presente artigo ¨¦ um esfor o nessa dire  o, abordando como a pr¨®pria vida cotidiana e as lutas organizadas permitiram o questionamento de sentidos e pr¨¢ticas opressoras. O estudo est¨¢ embasado em um processo de observa  o em antigos hospitais-col nia brasileiros, 12 grupos de conversa  o com moradores dessas institui  es, entrevistas n o-estruturadas com lideran as do Movimento de Reintegra  o das Pessoas Atingidas pela Hansen¨ªase (Morhan) e 45 edi  es do Jornal do Morhan. Despite the existence of a considerable literature about the history of leprosy, most studies focus on the oppression and domination to which former patients were subjected. The resistance and political struggles produced by these individuals remain underexplored. This paper is an attempt to introduce this issue, by discussing how everyday life and organized collective struggles have allowed the systematic challenge of oppressive meanings and social practices. The study is based on a observation process in former leprosy colonies, 12 conversation groups with colony dwellers, non-structured interviews with highly ranked activists from Morhan (Movement for the Reintegration of People Affected by Leprosy), and 45 editions of Morhan's newsletter.
