di Darcy Ribeiro (Brasile)
Mi schierai dalla parte dei popoli originari,
e mi sconfissero
Mi schierai dalla parte dei negri,
e mi sconfissero.
Mi schierai dalla parte dei poveri e mi sconfissero.
Mi schierai dalla parte dei lavoratori e mi sconfissero.
Ma mai sono stato dalla parte di chi mi ha sconfitto.
Questa, è la mia Vittoria.

de Darcy Ribeiro (Brasile)
Me puse del lado de los pueblos originarios,
y me derrotaron.
Me puse del lado de los negros,
y me derrotaron.
Me puse del lado de los pobres
y me derrotaron.
Me puse del lado de los trabajadores
y me derrotaron.
Pero nunca me puse del lado
de quienes me derrotaron.
Esa, es mi Victoria.

Darcy Ribeiro’s ideas belonged to the evolutionist school of sociology and anthropology, and his main influences were Neoevolutionists Leslie White and Julian Steward, and the Marxist archeologist V. Gordon Childe. He believed that people went through a “civilizatory process” beginning as hunter-gatherers … keep on reading Wikipedia
