Deserved tribute to Professor Kabengele Munanga, who received this 32nd. RBA
the Roquette Pinto medal. His speech on receiving the award is an evident demonstration
its trajectory, its anti-racist struggle and how much that struggle is still necessary, until
even in an association such as ABA and in academic circles in general.
Established in 2003, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the 1st RBA, the Roquette Pinto medal is the
most important distinction granted to people, whose trajectory and work have
made significant contributions to the various dimensions in Anthropology.

Congratulations Kabê !!!
