The identity constructions of black psychologists in the northeast of Pará

Abstract

The constructions of black people's identities are often crossed by annihilation, silencing and violence. The miscegenation processes imply the loss of identity and a return to this ethnic-racial understanding is to make a historical, political and territorial rescue. It was made a research, through the qualitative method of phenomenological theoretical foundation, based on the empirical-comprehensive model proposed by Amedeo Giorgi, seeking to understand the constructions of identities of black psychologists in the Northeast of Pará, using as an instrument semi-structured interviews that were carried out with four women who recognize themselves as black, who graduated in psychology and who practice the profession in different areas, in order to understand the intersections of race, gender, sexuality and class that cross the experiences of these psychology professionals.
