Abstract
Race relations scholars in Brazil have devoted energy to analyzes of the contribution of black precursors, giving voice to those who have paved the way to consolidate the participation of blacks in academic debate and to refine it by expanding others voices. Thus, I approach the contribution of the black sociologist Alberto Guerreiro Ramos in the studies of what he called racial hierarchies. The idea is to demonstrate how he contributed in terms of intellectual, political and personal action for the existence of an authentic (non-Eurocentric) understanding of race relations in Brazil. I make use of the contribution of important interpreters of the thought of Guerreiro Ramos, demonstrating its approximate character of the current post-colonialism, while debating the (im)possibility of a black thought in our author's studies.
