An influent Afro-Brazilian thinker, he was instrumental on the development of a native sociological framework, criticizing the use of European paradigms for studying the Brazilian society, especially race relations and the condition of the Black people in Brazil. He advocated for appropriating those concepts to the national reality (what he called sociological reduction).
