The concept of ‘race’ will continue its destiny in Romanian culture after WWII, even if the communist ideology will be reticent at some moments towards its use. On the one hand in the academia the concept we are talking about is oculted even if it is used without being named. On the other hand it penetrates the constitutional texts. What communist ideology tries to do is to keep and use the national dimension of the interwar concept of race, but at the same time by delimitating it of rasism.

Keywords: racism, 20th century, communist ideology, national identity, physical anthropology.
