English summary: With the discovery of the New World three racial groups enter into contact: the European, the American-Indian and the African. The African group is defined by the slave condition to which it was subjected by colonial exploitation as the latter expanded across the face of the earth during the last four centuries. Slave trade produced the massive transfer of Africans to American plantations where a new physical environment and a newly invented social structure demanded from the Negroes an adaptation process that implied biological adaptation and social cultural adjustment within a structure of dependency that shaped the behavior patterns and rigid position in colonial society. The abolition of slavery, the increase of racial mixtures and acculturation, added to the structural developments that emerged in countries shortly after liberation from colonial regimes, originated rehabilitation movements, among them that of negritude which is giving to the Negro a different image than the unhappy one produced by colonial exploitation. The Negro, at last, has broken with his isolation and marginalization. He now forms part of the countries of the Third World.
