Dear Readers,

We present the new number of the ABPN's journal, Brazilian Association of Black Researchers, which bases its productions on publishing quality, focusing on promoting the Human Rights of the black population in Latin America and Caribbean. The texts presented here on this 27^th edition contemplate History, Sociology, Education and the Arts, on their different approaches and multiple inter-relations. They also have a wider contribution in History and Sociology, bringing the Thematic Dossier "Black Intellectuals Men and Women, 19th-21st Centuries: Challenges, Projects and Memories", organized by Prof. Flávio Gomes (UFRJ) e Prof. Petrônio Domingues (UFS).

The Thematic Dossier presents to its readers the journeys of Passos e Silva, André Rebouças, Neninho de Obaluaê, Eduardo de Oliveira e Oliveira, Alberto Guerreiro Ramos, Beatriz Nascimento, Tito Lívio de Castro, Carolina Maria de Jesus, José Carlos do Patrocínio, and Laudelina de Campos Mello. In addition to texts that discuss a project of Brazil elaborated by post-abolition black thinkers, there are the insurgency and displacement of black intellectuals in the social movements in universities, and the experience of black women for the construction of a black and feminist episteme in Brazil. Concerning other ways of research and the construction of knowledge, the coordinators of this dossier also include the transcription of the interview with black intellectuals who studied at the Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo (PUCSP) between the 80's and 90’s and in the beginning of the twentieth century.

We thank the collaborators, peer reviewers, authors, translators, editors, Editorial Board, Consulting Board, Board of Directors and other staff members/partners that enabled publishing this 27^th edition, as well as every researcher. Our sincere thanks to all who contribute to the ABPN's journal!

Modupé (We say thanks)!
