GONCALVES, Mariana Alves. Martín-Baró as an Ethical Inspiration for Building a Community and Popular Perspective on Psychology. Estud. pesqui. psicol. []. 2020, 20, 2, pp.651-664. ISSN 1808-4281. https://doi.org/10.12957/epp.2020.52591.
From historical studies on the trajectory of community social psychology in Brazil, we intend in this article to explore the contributions of one of the greatest authors of Latin American psychology, Ignacio Martín-Baró to the construction of a popular perspective in psychology. Going through the publication of the translation of his texts in Brazil, which happens very recently, we systematize the main points of his writings that serve as an ethical and political inspiration for us to build a community and popular perspective in psychology. His contribution stands as a way to build horizons of practices genuinely committed to the popular issues, since he always advocated the production of a psychology from the people and their reality.
