"Enfrentar al enano nacionalista": una mirada a los libros de texto

Abstract

We examine the contribution of school history, geography and civics text books to the nationalistic sentiment along the 20th century in Argentina. In the first part, we analyze the political and discursive sources of such sentiment and how those ideas were incorporated in text books. In the second part, we explore the changes in the contents and the production process after 1983, as well as the expected consequences of such changes in the current democratic period.
