Diaspora Studies are an emerging area in Brazilian Academy, with differentapproaches both in the Social Sciences and in the Humanities knowledge fields. Concerning the Translation Studies, a timid but representative movement has emerged in the past years. However, it isstill somehow dispersed and lacks a unitary and regulatory characteristic. Within this context, this paper approaches the complex relations between the Translation Studies and the Black Diaspora Studies, proposing a Brazilian itinerary of theoretical principles to think about the translation of Black diasporic texts. For this reason, the current situation of the Black ethno-social question in Brazil and the manner in which it occurs throughout the translation act are resumed. It is argued that both the engaged and the non-engaged translators, Black or White, are relevant within the context of the internationalization of texts of interest for the Brazilian Black populations. Thus, the importance of the delimitation of the field of Translation and Black Diasporas to the Translation Studies is emphasized.
