Abstract
This article considers possible associations between Geography (or studies centered on space) and Psychology. The intention stems from the valorization of both branches of knowledge in the reproduction of the experience of black men and women with regard to the metropolis. The perspective considers that racism historically present in societies forged by slavery, as in the Brazilian case, transforms the relations that involve the appropriation and production of urban space, this reality being crossed by psychic effects characterized by the trauma of daily racism, present in interdictions, in the tortuous looks of whiteness and in police violence that culminates in the genocide of the black population. All these elements are part of a theoretical intertwining that has the recognition of Frantz Fanon's theory as an elementary feature, especially for its extraordinary contribution to psychiatric studies involving racism and the colonial question, but also for its potential incursion into spatial dynamics.
