As a result of nearly a finished research about the intellectual performance of the sociologist Alberto Guerreiro Ramos (1915-1982), this paper envisages the political philosophy of black personalism. This was the kern of Guerreiro Ramos thought about Brazilian and World-dimensioned Black. An attempt is made to connect this humanistic vision of Blackmen with recent multiculturalist and postcolonial visions, in order to point out the present day contribution of Guerreiro Ramos to social theory and praxis of Black movements.
