The study has presented a research work about the ethnical-racial information of African origin and of African descendants, due to the understanding that the articulation of this kind of information with the theoretical fundaments of the Science of Information has the purpose of rescuing, spreading and adding value to the knowledge about African ancestry and its descendants. The proposed general goal is to analyze the ethnical-racial information in the perspective of African-rooted and African-descendant ethnics, parting from Discursive Semantics, aiming at the conceptualization of the themes approached in this context. The specific goals were: a) mapping the sources of information; b) identifying descriptors; and c) elaborate the glossary of ethical-racial information. The research intended to afford visibility and due importance to the ethnocentric informational flow for considering that knowledge of the terminology of the field is an inherent necessity to all researches/scholars; initiatives towards constructing a glossary of ethnical-racial information are non-existent; ethnical-racial information is little scarcely available in the academic environment; and, that studies which allow the insertion of the afro-centric culture in the Eurocentric current panorama are incipient. The corpus of this research ha as an ally the web environment to reach the informational sources, searching the keywords History of Africa and black people in Brazil, which and without Boolean operators or hyphen. As a selective criteria was the results until the 10th page of the search engine Google, university library websites, Digital Libraries of Theses and Dissertations (BDTDs), institutional repositories, directories of electronic periodic publications, etc. The methodological path had a qualitative analysis, and, for data analysis, documents were approached from the Discursive Semantics perspective, in an attempt to connect the expression or significant of words or expressions with the content or meaning for the indexation of words and linguistic expressions to be collected. The semantic procedures of thematization and figurativization of Greimasian base were the ones responsible by extracting the figures of natural language and for attributing themes to the identified figures. The process of discursivization employed for obtaining positive results of this research work, since the moment of indexation, has shownefficacy in the proposed task, in a way that the figures and the themes became effective as descriptors and, ultimately, formed a glossary of ethnical-racial information. The research highlighted Discurs Semantic as a method capable to execute the task of analyzing and representing ethnical-racial information of African origin with the intent of contributing in a practical way to disseminate and add positive value to this kind of information. It’s also important that this research can serve as an incentive to guide new works for the studies that search solutions with the intent of reduce the effects of the invisibility of ethnical-racial information of African origin, considering that the same way the black person which, despite all the progress, is still far from being free of inequalities, the ethnical-racial information also needs to circulate freely I the academic context, based in the principle of heterogeneity.
