Abstract
This paper presents a reflection on public policies for Social Assistance and the way that interfaces such as race, racism and whiteness have appeared in knowledge production. Inspired by the idea of pluriversality, we have questioned the white conceptual universe by bringing reflections on psychology productions focused on a Eurocentric, masculinist, and heterocentered ideology. We present a discussion on race and racism, thinking about the way they have been articulated in the constitution and implementation of public policies as well as in their precariousness. Finally, we state the need to decolonize the production in Social Psychology, in order to bring whiteness into play, dissolve the idea of universal subject, and admit our need to think and publish from a multi-rational perspective. We believe that policies for the production of knowledges and actions in psychology should be attentive to the geopolitics of knowledge, in a dialogue with epistemic diversities spread in different regions over the world, particularly in the Global South.
