GUIMARAES, José Marques. Black Brazilians before and after the creation of the CPLP: continuity of their struggle against the legacy of slavery. População e Sociedade [online]. 2020, n.34, pp.71-86.  Epub 01-Dic-2021. ISSN 0873-1861.

Resisting slavery since the 16th century, through the flight from plantations and the formation of outlaw communities (quilombos) and rebellions, Brazilian blacks were not emancipated by the abolition of slavery in 1888, which only exempted former owners from the obligation to support integration of freedmen into the capitalist labor market. Abandoned to their fate and trapped in the authenticity of their color, they continue to fight against racism, assuming their black identity vis-à-vis whites, to compel those who excluded them from citizenship to recognize them as human beings. Despite the values invoked by its founders (Brazil included) - Peace, Democracy, Human Rights -, the creation of the Community of Portuguese Speaking Countries (CPLP) in 1996 did not contribute to the redemption of black Brazilians, as we will demonstrate in this work.
