Abstract

This paper aims to present the academic production on the theme of race and theme developed at the Institute of Psychology at USP (IPUSP). Therefore, we analised theses and dissertations produced at IPUSP between 1970 and 2012 that made use of these categories to understand subjective, social, and political phenomena. Among other aspects, we found that the studies analyzed are divided mainly into three main areas, namely: denouncing racism, ways of subjectivation of racism, and strategies to overcome it. However, it is arguable that there are few studies that deal systematically with the deconstruction of racism, as well as with methodologies and techniques through which psychologists could contribute for the anti-racist struggle in Brazilian society. So to speak, there is still a gap in knowledge of psychology and race relations that should be looked deeper into by psychologists.
