Abstract

This paper deals with Jacinto Ventura Molina’s work and its ideolog- ical clues. Molina was an Afro-descendant writer and an exceptional figure in his time. He was born free in the frontier between Spanish and Portuguese Empires and lived and worked in Montevideo. His writings (not published during his life) show a vast and sometimes chaotic corpus with historical, reli- gious, philosophical, juridical or autobiographical matters. Molina moved him- self between different political contexts, devoted his writings to the apology of the Ancient Régime and he tried to demostrate his intellectual praises inside the white lettered society.
