More than 500 years after the beginning of the colonial process, black and indigenous people around the world, notably in the Global South, suffer from stigma, prejudice and violence inherited by the processes of racialization. In this study, we compared the theoretical and methodological legacies of the black researchers Virgínia Leone Bicudo and Grada Kilomba. Contributing to the perception that the social location of the racialized and gendered bodies of both researchers are fundamental instruments for the theoretical and methodological shifts proposed in their works. Thus, we approached them investigations regarding the place that race occupy in the question of coloniality and in doing science, pointing out possible contributions to the classic reflections of sociological theory in our country. From the analyzed works, we also glimpse possibilities for the institution of counter-discourses to the colonial project.

Keywords : Racialization; Coloniality; Decolonization; Virgínia Leone Bicudo; Grada Kilomba.
