Afro-brazilians subjectivity process: remarks for a study

This article aims to contribute for studies and research about questions related to the process of subjectivity of afro-Brazilians. Think over this theme was made throughout the presentation of social and historical facts of the slavery system based on two aspects: sociological and psychological. Firstly, the possibility of someone’s view of the world, what does it mean to be a "human being", what are the ideologies that grounded these constructions. Secondly because those subjectivities are not made out of nothing and they are not substances in themselves; on the other side, they are built by many social practices, producing feelings that affect the biopsychosocial potential development of everyone involved with it. Finally, the intention is to call psychologists’ attention to review the way so as to ferment studies about this theme and services that this area may offer for individuals of this group.
