José Núñez De Cáceres
José Núñez de Cáceres y Albor (March 14, 1772 – September 11, 1846) was a People of the Dominican Republic, Dominican revolutionary and writer. He is known for being the leader of the first Dominican independence movement against Spanish Empire, Spain in 1821. His revolutionary activities preceded the Dominican War of Independence. Before its independence, while Spain exercised a España Boba, perfunctory rule over the east side of Hispaniola, Núñez de Cáceres pioneered the use of literature as a weapon for social protest and anti-colonial politics. He was also the first Dominican fabulist and one of the first ''Criollo people, criollo'' storytellers in Spanish America. Many of his works appeared in his own satirical newspaper, ''El Duende (newspaper), El Duende'', the second newspaper created in Santo Domingo.

Republic Of Spanish Haiti
The Republic of Spanish Haiti (), also called the Independent State of Spanish Haiti () was the independent state that succeeded the Captaincy General of Santo Domingo after independence was declared on 1 December 1821 by José Núñez de Cáceres. The republic lasted only from 1 December 1821 to 9 February 1822 when it was annexed by the Republic of Haiti.

Fabulist
Fable is a literary genre defined as a succinct fictional story, in prose or verse, that features animals, legendary creatures, plants, inanimate objects, or forces of nature that are anthropomorphized, and that illustrates or leads to a particular moral lesson (a "moral"), which may at the end be added explicitly as a concise maxim or saying. A fable differs from a parable in that the latter ''excludes'' animals, plants, inanimate objects, and forces of nature as actors that assume speech or other powers of humankind. Conversely, an animal tale specifically includes talking animals as characters. Usage has not always been so clearly distinguished. In the King James Version of the New Testament, "" ("''mythos''") was rendered by the translators as "fable" in the First Epistle to Timothy, the Second Epistle to Timothy, the Epistle to Titus and the First Epistle of Peter. A person who writes fables is referred to as a fabulist. Global history The fable is one of the most end ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Haitian Occupation Of Santo Domingo
The Haitian occupation of Santo Domingo (; ; ) was the annexation and merger of then-independent Republic of Spanish Haiti (formerly Santo Domingo) into the Republic of Haiti, that lasted twenty-two years, from February 9, 1822, to February 27, 1844.

El Duende (newspaper)
''El Duende'' was a Dominican newspaper from Santo Domingo founded by José Núñez de Cáceres. It was the second Dominican paper. It printed its first issue just a few days after Núñez de Cáceres' second paper, El Telégrafo Continental de Santo Domingo, had appeared. Both papers were the result of an increasing politicization among the Dominican ''criollos'' in Santo Domingo, who were at the time under the Spanish colonial government. Political satire, opinions, and dialogue about the colony's relation with Spain were the main uses of this paper. Though it lasted for only four months, it left a precedent that inspired similar contributions later in the 19th century. Through it, Núñez de Cáceres developed himself as a fabulist Fable is a literary genre defined as a succinct fictional story, in prose or verse, that features animals, legendary creatures, plants, inanimate objects, or forces of nature that are anthropomorphized, and that illustrates or leads to a part ...
