Resumo: The purpose of this paper is to summarize Florestan Fernandes' life and work trajectory, emphasizing his dimensions as a sociologist and a socialist, revisiting his writings, his contributions to Brazilian sociology, his political and publicist militancy, his human integrity, and his tireless struggle for liberation of the oppressed and less equal and for the construction of socialism in Brazil and beyond. And we do this by (re)visiting a good part of his extensive work and of a group of renowned authors who have studied his bibliography and interacted with Florestan. The conclusions we have come to allowed us not only to describe the links between the sociologist and the socialist throughout his life and in part of his work, but also to note his unquestionable integrity and morality, his coherence and intellectual seriousness. Finally, what motivates me at this moment is both to pay homage to the greatest Brazilian social scientist in his birth centenary year and to instigate, by the example of his critical and militant sociology, that collectively we can respond to and face, in theory and in praxis, all the dilemmas that appear to us contemporaneously.

Y lo hacemos al (re)leer gran parte de su extensa obra y de un grupo de autores de renombre que han estudiado su bibliografía y vivido con Florestan. Lo que concluimos mediante estas (re)lecturas nos permitió no solo describir los vínculos entre el sociólogo y el socialista a lo largo de su vida y en parte de su obra, sino también registrar su integridad y moral indiscutibles, además de su coherencia y seriedad intelectual. Finalmente, lo que me motiva en este momento es tanto rendir homenaje al más grande científico social brasileño en el año del centenario de su nacimiento, como instigar, con el ejemplo de su sociología crítica y militante, que colectivamente podamos contestar y nos enfrentar, en teoría y praxis, con todo los dilemas que se nos presentan contemporáneamente.O objetivo do presente artigo é o de sumarizar a trajetória de vida e obra de Florestan Fernandes, sublinhando suas dimensões de sociólogo e socialista, resgatando seus escritos, suas contribuições à sociologia brasileira, sua militância política e publicista, sua integridade humana, e sua incansável luta pela libertação dos oprimidos e menos iguais e pela construção do socialismo no Brasil e mais além. E o fazemos pelas (re)leituras de boa parte de sua extensa obra e de um conjunto de autores consagrados, estudiosos de sua bibliografia que conviveram com Florestan. O que concluímos nos permitiu não só descrever os enlaces entre o sociólogo e o socialista ao longo de sua vida e em parte de sua obra, como também registrar sua integridade e moralidade incontestáveis, sua coerência e seriedade intelectual. Por fim, o que me motiva nesse momento é tanto homenagear o maior dos cientistas sociais brasileiros no ano do centenário de seu nascimento, como instigar, pelo exemplo de sua sociologia crítica e militante, que coletivamente possamos responder e enfrentar na teoria e na práxis todos os dilemas que se nos apresentam contemporaneamente.Departamento de Estudos Latino-Americanos - ELA2020-12-17info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/repam/article/view/3084410.21057/10.21057/repamv14n2.2020.30844Journal of Study and Research on the Americas; Vol. 14 No. 2 (2020); 373-411Revista de Estudios y Investigaciones sobre las Américas; Vol. 14 Núm. 2 (2020); 373-411Revista de Estudos e Pesquisas sobre as Américas; v. 14 n. 2 (2020); 373-4111984-163910.21057/10.21057/repamv14n2.2020reponame:Revista de Estudos e Pesquisas sobre as Américasinstname:Universidade de Brasília (UnB)instacron:UNBporhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/repam/article/view/30844/28318Copyright (c) 2020 Jales Dantas da Costahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCosta, Jales Dantas da2023-09-19T18:47:23Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/30844Revistahttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/repamPUBhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/repam/oairepam-ela@unb.br||revistaceppac@gmail.com1984-16391984-1639opendoar:2023-09-19T18:47:23Revista de Estudos e Pesquisas sobre as Américas - Universidade de Brasília (UnB)false
