Summary: This thesis of social psychology on the phenomenon of racism part of record, in different registers of the collective consciousness, which for two decades was declared as a progression of racism and, moreover, as a crisis of identity. The critical review of the status of the issue of racism in Social Psychology, lead me to propose an approach that before seeking explanation seeks to understand the phenomenon. With the spirit of a comprehensive social psychology, I formulating situation as racism, arguing that: A: Racism is not something that is located on individuals, such as performance or process or psychological defect, but rather individuals we can see subject to forms of social relations and racism. B-It is a situation that through the race category historically and organically linked to the idea of the identity. Development then the proposal of racism as a situation of social relations that confers a cualidad-forma given to the collective psychology, namely thoughts, practices, discourses and social environments. I suggest a reading from the historical situation that applies to the modern era, including in full from the sixteenth century to the present day. And displaying reasoned argument to explain, in terms of the collective psychology, the characteristic features of racism such as their volatility, versatility, inconsistency, obduracy and reproductive potential.
