RESUMO

This thesis gives priority to the black poetry study of the Brazilian poet Solano Trindade (1908-1974) and of the north American poet Langston Hughes (1902-1967). My research also visits other poetsâ works such as Countee Cullen (in the United States) and the Caribbean poets NicolÃs GuillÃn (from Cuba), Aimà CÃsaire (from Maritinica) and some Brazilian poets, fiction writers, slave narratives, songs, ditties, short stories, legends, religious rites and other expressions of Afro descendants. Initially I analyze the poetry of forerunners and founders of black literature in Brazil and some contemporary black women writing. I make a comparative reading between the classic epoch of the European colonizer and the quilombola epic âThe Palmares Songâ of Solano Trindade. I also emphasize the relation, the inter crossing of black literature with the relation, the inter crossing of black literature with the music of the Americas, the performance of griot, poet of ancient African tradition, and of other masters of ceremony in the Diaspora. I focus on the personal and collective memory in the poetic discourse, the construction of black identity, the engaged speech of Marxist negritude, the slavery history, the violence, the negro social exile, culture and its resistance strategies. I tell about my childhood memory, about the Ox (Boi) in my town â The âBumbameu- boiâ birth in Piauà and its transference to MaranhÃo. I relate the poems of Langston Hughes to the joy of being black, to the vindication of civil rights and of an America for the Blacks (Negroes) denouncing the Ku Klux Klan terrorism action. I analize Hughes poetry which translates the thematic, philosophic and aesthetic motives (motifs) of blues/jazz songs. I point out the aesthetic, thematic and social role of black poetry, jazz, capoeira. I describe similarities and differences in the poet performance, of the jazz musician and of the capoeirist that evoke the gesture memory of the body through poetry, chant, music, dance, swing, fight, plot and dissimulation. I approach the poetry of Hughes and Solano from the perspective of personal, autobiographical and collective memory of these authors in relation to popular short stories and narrative of black ancestry experience. I retake my considerations about the African tradition, of black identity and modern life experiences in the Diaspora that resulted in the Negralization of cultures in Americas. I also translate fourteen poems of Langston Hughes from the English to Portuguese Language
