Abstract

This essay outlines the contributions of Aniela Meyer Ginsberg (1902-1986) for the ethnic-racial and intercultural studies in Brazil. Her productions on these topics – including articles, book chapters and conferences – were our main object of interest. Influenced by the anti-racist agenda of the post-war, inter and intracultural processes, ethnic-racial relations and migration were at the center of her investigations. Aniela is an important character in the history of Brazilian psychological thinking; her studies on race/ethnicity in Brazil are characterized as intracultural studies of national society and its wide diversities. She sought to deconstruct the biological determinist view of the races/ethnicities and show that is in the interaction between individuals and the society that the differences can turn into inequalities.
