Fair Play (FP) refers to morally good attitudes in sporting practices and the rejection of racism. In Brazil sports started to develop after the end of slavery, and racism followed its history. The purpose of this research is to map and analyze the Brazilian Physical Education literature about FP and racism in sports. A bibliographic review of thesis and dissertations from the main post-graduation programs of the country was carried out. Thirty-two thesis and 103 dissertations were found; five theses and ten dissertations were analyzed. This large reduction happened because only a few related directly to both issues. Among the analyzed work, those that approach sports from the perspective of structural racism in practices such as football, capoeira and boxing stand out. There was also a significant amount of studies that highlight the importance of FP and the fight against racism in school Physical Education.

Keywords : Fair play; Racism; Sport; Physical education; Brazil.
