Abstract

Throughout the 1970s, in the context of the formation of the contemporary Black Movement in Brazil, a significant transit of Black intellectuals and anti-racist social activists took place between the United States and Brazil. Based on a transnational perspective, we discuss the relations established in this field between the Brazilian sociologist Eduardo de Oliveira e Oliveira and African American Black Sociology in mid-1970s. Black Sociology proposed a theoretical approach politically committed and organically connected to the lives and political aspirations of African-Americans, aiming to reposition the voices and centralize the epistemologies of Black authors not as objects, as White Sociology did, but as subjects. We argue that Oliveira translated (in academic events, articles, and institutional projects) this references for Brazil into a proposal of a Sociologia Negra that would be a theoretical instrument for social liberation and the creation of new epistemological references for Afro-Brazilians, a process that helped to build the intellectual foundations of contemporary Black political struggles in Brazil.
