La dictadura franquista en los manuales escolares recientes: Una revisión crítica

Abstract

This article analyzes in a panoramic way the treatment of the Franco dictatorship in the Spanish school textbooks of primary, secondary and high school education of the last twenty years. It is based on the following premise: the educational treatment of a conflictive and “hot” past like that of the Franco regime must be of special concern to the community of researchers and teachers of History, insofar as it has profound potential repercussions on the construction of the socio-political identities of the new generations. In this sense, the article, although it does not deny the advances produced, focuses its attention on the methodological, epistemological and interpretative deficiencies that can be seen in the textbooks published under the educational laws LOGSE, LOE and LOMCE.
