Una historia oficial para la democracia.
- Authors
Antonio Crespo, José
- Abstract
The article presents a critical evaluation of official accounts of Mexican history. The author notes the need to reconsider perceptions of national history taught in schools, points out the contradiction between democratic values and the exaltation of patriotic violence, and reconsiders several aspects of Mexican political history including the injustices of post-Independence governments, the abuse of power among national heroes, and the historic influence of the U.S. on Mexican political life.
