This study shows the results of a predominantly quantitative analysis of postgraduate research in the field of philosophy between 1987 and 2018. The main objective was to identify doctoral and master’s works on subjects related to the black population, African and Afrodiasporic philosophies. The study methodology was based on the systematic research of theses and dissertations by using 345 different search expressions in the Catálogo de Teses e Dissertações da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (Capes). The results show that the production of the philosophical studies of black themes composes, in the best hypothesis, only about 0.5% of the national production in the period. The production is, in general, quite recent and still little consolidated in the philosophical postgraduate programs of the Brazilian universities. Such results give evidence of the existence of academic racism in Brazilian academic philosophy, which acts in the form of an almost complete silencing about black subjects.
