Primeiras trovas burlescas (2000) is a poetry book by the Afro-Brazilian writer Luiz Gama, which brings in his poetics a series of issues related to the nineteenth-century Brazilian society to be discussed, such as: politics, slavery, racial prejudice and identity enhancement black, among others. Primeiras trovas burlescas is a work written by a black man and on the black can be explored both the way of narrating the poet, as well as his nuances and peculiarities in talking about Brazilian social issues and other aspects. Due to the historical and cultural riches that the work carries, it was decided to work with the theme related to the valorization of the black identity. Therefore, we aim to analyze their presence in the lyrical and satirical poetry that make up this book as a corpus of our research. Through the mechanism of valorization of black identity and poetry as an instrument of struggle and denunciation, we will reflect on how Luiz Gama criticizes, satirizes, questions and problematizes the attitudes of the enslaving white with regard to the enslaved Negro. In order to base our discussions, we will use the ideas of: Antonio Candido (2006), Antoine Compagnon (1999), Zilá Bernd (1987 and 1988), Domício Proença Filho (2004), Eduardo de Assis Duarte (2005) and also scholars of the poet Luiz Gama and his unique work, such as Sud Mennucci (1938), Lígia Ferreira (2000 and 2011), Sílvio Roberto Oliveira (2004), among others.
