perspectivas distintas e dissonantes, apesar da falta do debate<br />

com os críticos dos afro-centrismos, deslocados, impedidos e<br />

ausentes nos debates. De todo modo, esperamos que a Conferência<br />

provoque mais reflexões sobre as relações raciais e a<br />

possibilidade de novas relações sul-sul, principalmente qu<strong>and</strong>o<br />

percebidas as dinâmicas social brasileira e latino-americana.<br />

so-called Yellow Race happened in the 1970s, in the<br />

twentieth century.<br />

What is more provocative in this mythological<br />

construction is its transnational ethno-genesis: the<br />

ideology of a racial democracy is present in Latin<br />

American countries like Venezuela, Colombia,<br />

Ecuador, <strong>and</strong> even Cuba. It has less to do with<br />

local symbolic production <strong>and</strong> more to do with the<br />

transnational, in the context of colonization.<br />

Certainly, the <strong>CIAD</strong> <strong>II</strong> had the m<strong>and</strong>ate to bring<br />

together distinct <strong>and</strong> dissonant perspectives, despite<br />

the lack of a debate with critics of displaced, impeded<br />

or absent Afro-centrisms in the debates. At any<br />

rate, we hope that the Conference provokes more<br />

reflections about racial relations <strong>and</strong> the possibility<br />

of new south-south relations, principally evidenced<br />

in Brazilian <strong>and</strong> Latin American social dynamics.<br />
