JUARREZ, Jose Domingo (war-reth'), Paraguayan author, born in San Jose de los Arroyas in 1801; died in Caraguaty in 1837. He began life as a teacher, and soon acquired the reputation of a successful writer. He went to Asuncion in 1824, and was presented to the dictator Francia, who took an interest in him and gave him an appointment in the state department to enable him to pursue his historical studies. But later Francia became offended by Juarrez's "Historia de la Independencia del Paraguay" (2 vols., Asuncion, 1834), in which he saw a criticism of his government, and he sent the author to the prison of Oliva. Juarrez was released in the following year and exiled to Caraguaty, where he died. His other works include "Historia de peregrinaciones" (1825); "Noticias para a historia a geographia das nacoes ultra-marinas" (2 vols., 1827); "Disputatio Esquimauy gente America" (1827); "Memorias sobre antigtiedades Uruguayas y Paraguayas" (1831): and "Viagero Universal," a cyclopedia of the explorations of the Spanish and Portuguese in South America below the river Plate (1832).
