Darcy Ribeiro was born on October 26, 1922, in Montes Claros, in the state of Minas Gerais, the son of Reginaldo Ribeiro dos Santos and of Josefina Augusta da Silveira.
Ribeiro finished primary and secondary education in his native town, at the Grupo Escolar Gonçalves Chaves and at the Ginásio Episcopal de Montes Claros.
Ribeiro started his career working in the Government's Indian Protection Agency since 1946. In 1953, he founded the Museum of the Indian in Rio de Janeiro. He was also one of the founders of the University of Brasilia, where he became rector in 1961. After serving briefly as Minister of Education and Culture under President Joao Goulart, Ribeiro fled to Uruguay during the 1964 military coup. Ribeiro returned several years later and was imprisoned briefly after yet another coup. He was exiled, only to return in 1974.
From 1983 to 1987, Darcy Ribeiro held the position of the chief of staff (Ministro-chefe da Casa Civil) in the cabinet of President João Goulart, vice-governor of Rio de Janeiro and exercised the mandate of the senator from Rio de Janeiro from 1991 until his death.
