The discussions about quotas in universities bring together several arguments, polarizing opinions about their implementation. About this, studies relate the opposition to quotas to racism and also point to the uses of arguments that involve affirmative action as a way to legitimize discrimination against blacks and the poor. In the literature on psychology, there are still few studies that address racism. Based on this, this article aims to characterize the Brazilian scientific production in psychology on racial quotas in universities. An integrative literature review was carried out, in which searches were carried out in the SciELO, PePSIC, Index Psi and LILACS databases, gathering 11 articles. The analysis of the articles identified gaps in the method descriptions and a small variation in the data collection and analysis strategies. The theory of social representations was the most widely used theoretical basis. Regarding the content of the articles, the corpus was organized into two main thematic axes: (a) opinions about quotas, with most articles, and (b) experience of quota students. The first group of articles had the intention of knowing the positioning of certain groups or documents on the quota law. The second group, with only two studies, sought to know the experience of students who entered the university through the quota law. These findings, coming from a small number of researches on the theme, point to a field of study that still needs to be explored, prioritizing different methodological strategies in understanding the phenomenon.

Palabras clave : racial quotas; university quotas; racism; integrative review.
