This work contributes to a (re)thinking of the work and intellectual position of one of the greatest Brazilian thinkers, Clovis Moura, a very important Brazilian thinker of the Negro social history. It analyzes this radical social scientist's academic career, and it shows, as well, a part of his life story that has contributed to his theoretical and practical ideas. And it also highlights his late acceptance among the academic circles.
