Sumario:Jean Louis Vastey (1781-1820) was one of the main thinkers of the Haitian revolution. Being a prolific writer, he produced a wide theoretical-conceptual work, mainly between 1814 and 1819. From a feminist and decolonialistic approach, this article seeks to pose him as one of the pioneering voices that critically argued against the hegemonic Eurocentric account.
