Abstract
It is with deep satisfaction that we present Issue V.16, No. 44 of the Journal of the Brazilian Association of Black Researchers (ABPN), a milestone in scientific production committed to the decolonization of knowledge and racial justice. In a Brazil where 55.6% of the population identifies as Black (Black and Brown), according to IBGE data (2022), yet remains underrepresented in academic circles—a phenomenon that constitutes what Sueli Carneiro (2005) defines as "epistemicide." This collection of 21 articles emerges as an epistemological trench against the racial inequalities experienced in the Brazilian context. Bringing together researchers from 12 states, this issue not only maps structural asymmetries but proposes concrete alternatives anchored in ancestral, quilombola, peripheral, and insurgent knowledge. The works compiled here challenge hegemonic perspectives and point to new paths for building a socially referenced science that respects differences, whose impact transcends academic boundaries and reverberates in the struggles for equity in all social spaces.
