This paper discusses the modes of subjectivity and the practices of psychology at school, based on the relationships between the works of Fanon and Freire. We have observed psis practices in schools created by operators based on psychopathological diagnosis, compensation and adaptation, revealing a colonialist psychology, since it is based on a concept of universal subject - representation of the European white man. Even with the entry of the so-called critical social psychology, this knowledge, in its intersection with the school, continued to develop practices that exclude the reality of schoolchildren, who, in the Brazilian public school, are young black boys and girls. This paper aimed to reflect on another possible way for the relations between psychology and the school. For that, we discussed the relationship between racism, subjectivity and social exclusion based on the analysis of the concepts of violence and culture in the works of Freire and Fanon.

Keywords : Psychology; School; Racism; Violence; Culture.
