Black resistance and amefricanity

dialogues between Clóvis Moura and Lélia Gonzalez for the anti-racist debate of class relations in Latin America

Abstract

Colonialisms, slavery, and abolitionism without rights are structural conditions for the constitution of Latin American proletariats and bourgeoisies, as well as the limits of liberal democratic legality and dependent capitalisms. Thus, the relations between the constituted national states and the class societies include the historical subjects active in the different economic, social, and historical formations. It is in this horizon that Clóvis Moura's theses on black resistance as structuring Latin American dynamics dialogue with the category of amefricanity addressed by Lélia Gonzalez and present themselves as a contribution to anti-racism in the debate of social classes in Latin America.
