The article focuses on Guerreiro Ramos' contribution to social theory and label marginalised scholars as anti-racists, feminists and anti-colonials, instead of calling them social theorists. It mentions themes related to local context such as Brazilian development, the Brazilian political conjuncture, racism and the critique of national sociology. It also mentions universalism and totality in the social sciences are only possible when the sociologist's starting point was recognised.
