Abstract
Recognizing the need for Psychology to continue rethinking itself based on new and multiple theoretical assumptions, which consider subjects and realities from Brazilian territory , this article aims to deepen the approximation with Lélia Gonzalez, an author considered one of the main interpreters of Brazil, that allows us to have essential paths and reverberations for the field of doing psi. The author, with her body-territory, is an important
analyzer for us to understand the constitution of our country and how racial and gender relations are established in their different dimensions. To do so, we take the concepts of canva-body and territory-body as inspiration for the construction of an essay narrative that aims to think about anti-racist confrontations in the practice of Psychology in dialogue with the author and from our experience with research, extension and teaching. In this way, the concept of amefricanity will guide us in this path, highlighting the analyzes that link gender, race and class as fundamental in the advancement of a Brazilian counter-colonial psi thought.
