Resumo

This article has the purpose of revising the process of formation about Negro identity: from subordinate condition to recognition, in historic and literary aspects. The discussion of the social trajectory of the Negro is made relevant to think about the transformation in social roles given to the Negro by several writers, especially Solano Trindade. In his production, the poet gives his voice to the oppressed man (Negro or White), to denounce social injustice. Solano Trindade’s speech invites the reader to a revision of the Negro condition and, by emphasizing the human character in his poetic production, he questions the fixed image covered by stereotypes. His production therefore proposes a (re) reading of the images that were impinged on the Negro man in the Diaspora, confronted with moral, political and social standards of the elite, with the objective of the recognizing the human character in the Negro. Thus, we verify how Trindade uses his poetry as a weapon, a poetic weapon to be used in the objective of combating human illness and restore each person's dignity.
