Description
Summary:In this article, we seek to contribute to the consolidation of the decolonial academic field in the black-Brazilian perspective in Latin America, presenting two invisible black intellectuals in the social sciences in Brazil - Virgínia Leone Bicudo and Guerreiro Ramos - who lived the socio-anthropological Brazil, since the 40s of the 20th century. This work intention is to make their thoughts visible, because both of them presented decolonial arguments that can be configured as inaugurations of a decolonial epistemology in America. Despite these subaltern black intelectuals haven’t been able to speak in the Brazilian academic-intellectual environment, both challenged the epistemic racism/sexism of brazilian universities and pursued a second decolonization of Brazil.
