This article this is a resumption of the path for the composition of my thesis on African philosophy in order to relate the theoretical influences and challenges scholars found to complete the research. Starting from ripening of thematic and your importance to the Brazilian context, then detailing the epistemic impediments on an academic structure that rules pré-estabelece to legitimize knowledge and, ultimately, bringing some important concepts for the research of African philosophy and its peculiarities depending on the experience of the researcher. With that, the theoretical contributed Gayatri Spivak, Sueli Carneiro, Frantz Fanon and Eduardo Oliveira made it possible to deepen in the themes as subalternity, epistemic racism, black body, epistemicídio and ancestry. Therefore, this report exposes how the production of African philosophy brings the conflict with hegemonic standards expected of an academic research.
