SILVA VASCONCELLOS, Christianne. The Atlantic route of Afro-descendant thought. Towards an Afro theoretical reference on the history of Trans-Atlantic slave trade, perpetual slavery and the invention of race sophism. Tabula Rasa [online]. 2014, n.21, pp.325-349. ISSN 1794-2489.

This paper intends to present a theoretical reference written in the path of the atlantic by african and afro-descendant people, between 18th and 19th centuries. Particularly, the interpretation of three historical processes relevant to the history of America: transatlantic slave trade, perpetual slavery and the invention and use of the race sophism. The various authors we are referring to theorized on the experiences they endured within the pale of proslavery and racialist societies in America, the Caribbean and Europe, as a result of which they forge an original thinking that was left recorded on letters, poems, novels, autobiographies, and academic theses. The proposal here is that these versions make up a theoretical referent able to decolonize and understanding of the african Diaspora history at educational and academic centers throughout America.

Palabras clave : Afro-descendant intellectuals; transatlantic slave trade; perpetual slavery; race sophism.
