ROMAO, José Eustáquio  and  CAMACHO, Carlos Mário Paes. DARCY RIBEIRO: A LATIN AMERICAN MILITANT INTELECTUAL. Eccos Rev. Cient. [online]. 2022, n.63, e23419.  Epub Feb 12, 2024. ISSN 1983-9278.  https://doi.org/10.5585/eccos.n63.23419.

In the centenary year of his birth (1922-1997), the purpose of this article is to scientifically reconstitute - from the perspective of Historical-Dialectic Materialism - Darcy Ribeiro's contribution to explaining the evolution of social formations, especially the Brazilian one. Under the “skin” - as he liked to express his theoretical and practical polyvalence - of an ethnologist-anthropologist-historian, Ribeiro constructs, in six of his most important works [The civilizing process (1968-1998), Americas and Civilization (1970-2021) , The Indians and Civilization (1970-2017), The Brazilians: 1. Theory of Brazil - Studies in Anthropology of Civilization (1972-1978), The Dilemma of Latin America (1978-1983) and The Brazilian People (1995-2004)], a true Dialectical Historical Anthropology, pointing out directions for a possible “Brazilian Civilization” as an alternative for humanity.
