| Summary: | Brazil was the last country in the Americas to abolish transatlantic trade of people, and even today the African descendant suffers from the marginalization of his figure, due to the whitening of his identity and knowledge. This practice, known as epistemological colonialism, affects mainly, but not exclusively, the academic production of International Relations (IR). In this context, this article aims to analyze the representation of racial relations in the Brazilian academic production of International Relations in the 21st century. For this, we investigated which voices are predominant in IR and why, followed by a contextualization of black people in the construction of the Brazilian social and symbolic discourse, and the identification of its figure in the Brazilian academic production of IR. A qualitative and quantitative methodological approach was used with a dialectical research method. Regarding the methodological procedures, it was made a review of national and international literature and a research of the national academic production stricto sensu.
