Abstract

The article makes some notes about the Movimento Pelas Reparações (MPR) of African descendants in Brazil in the 1990s. It is argued that besides expressing how Afro-Brazilians were (and are) connected in struggles and demands waged in the transatlantic circuit of the black diaspora, this movement prepared the way for the current policy of affirmative action in the country.
