Massacre and resistance Kaiowá and Guarani: questions to Psichologies on the intolerable

This article considers critically the event massacre and the resistance of the indigenous Guarani Kaiowá against the racist practices of biopower, that are accomplished in order to guarantee the territory and their sacred land. In studies of Michel Foucault some historical and political tools that help us think about this situation and questions it in the present can be found. Racism seems to be holding such a reality and complicity with the genocide that is practiced due to the delay in carrying out the demarcation and to the negligence on the appeals of these people that have already happened in several ways. The strength of these people interpellate the psychological practices so that they are not driven as devices of ethnocidal standardization guided by pacification, that denies dissidences, or by explanations based on pathology , that deny the diversity of life as a biopower.
