This paper analyzes the role of Simón Rodríguez, especially that of his work American societies, from the perspective of the social actors who would have intervened in a national and republican inclusive project. With an in-depth knowledge of Rodríguez's ideas relating to indigenous and Afro-American populations, the paper argues that his project would have best represented the construction of pluralistic societies more in tune with the libertarian and democratic ideals that motivated the independence movements in the first place.
