Pomba-giras: contribuições para afrocentrar a Psicologia.v

Abstract

The manuscript presents the partial results of a more extensive research that has been carried out in terreiros of Candomblé and Umbanda, recovering here, above all, the Pomba-giras, one of the entities of the Afro-Brazilian cults of Candomblé and Umbanda. Afrocentred readings did not consolidate as an epistemological perspective in Psychology, because they questioned white supremacy and its colonial logic, putting in check the universality of psychological experience.
