Abstract: This article aims to review the literature on the impacts of racism on mental health and to explore Marabaixo as a cultural and educational practice that promotes resilience and strengthens identity among Afro-descendant communities in the state of Amapá, Brazil. A narrative literature review analyzed relevant qualitative and quantitative studies on the psychological effects of racism and the role of cultural interventions in the context of mental health. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis, identifying three main themes: the psychological impact of racism, Marabaixo as a resource for cultural and educational resilience, and the strengthening of AfroBrazilian identity. The findings indicate that racism is a significant stressor that leads to negative mental health outcomes such as anxiety and low self-esteem, especially in children and adolescents. Marabaixo, in this context, is distinguished as a cultural and educational intervention that reinforces self-esteem and a sense of belonging, providing emotional support and community strengthening. The results suggest that Marabaixo is not just a cultural celebration, but a resource of resistance and social cohesion that contributes to the psychological well-being of the student. This study reinforces the importance of cultural and educational interventions in promoting mental health and highlights the need for public educational policies that value Afro-Brazilian cultural practices as tools for enhancing identity and promoting resilience.
