Los espejos de Duarte Author: Pensamiento y vida , 4. This book analyzes the images and discourse of Juan Pablo Duarte, with particular interest given to the discourses that are used to construct images, give meaning to certain facts, and function in political projects.

His conception of a republic was that of a republican , anticolonial , liberal and progressive patriot. At that time he drafted a draft constitution that clearly states that the Dominican flag can shelter all races, without excluding or giving predominance to any. However, the forces of those favoring Spanish sovereignty as protection from continued Haitian threats and invasions, led by general Pedro Santana , a large landowner from the eastern lowlands, took over and exiled Duarte.

A man in a contemplative mood, wounded by the drastic expulsion such as he suffered, would have very little time for a long term wife, children or true stability. Duarte, then living in Venezuela, was made the Dominican Consul and provided with a pension to honor him for his sacrifice.

But even this after some time was not honored and he lost commission and pension.
