Abstract
In this article we will reflect on the origins and common histories of Latin America, the Caribbean and Africa considering that the slave colonial system shaped our societies and cities, and Brazil in this context. The Eurocentric construction of societies and cities in the so-called New World has its tripod in colonialism-enslavement, patriarchalism-racism and mercantilism-capitalism, which also produced explanatory models that feed to this day a perverse theoretical-ideological-political gear that favors the reproduction of inequalities and the perpetuation in the power of hegemonic white groups. Facing the methodology of omission from the perspective of race, gender, class and space in these continents is crucial for projects of human emancipation and overcoming the system of universal oppression.
