Abstract

espanolLos libros de texto son la unica fuente para comunicar informacion considerada verdadera, de incuestionable precision y cuya autenticidad no podria ser cuestionada por nadie. Los estados, en colaboracion con los regimenes de los libros de texto, emplearon libros de texto para impartir una cierta nocion de identidad, de nosotros y de ellos, mediante la construccion y presentacion de una narrativa estatal a los alumnos. El metodo de estudio adecuado para esta investigacion fue el analisis de contenido cualitativo y en esta se analizaron 9 libros de texto de historia. Los libros fueron seleccionados para su publicacion por las autoridades estatales. El analisis de los libros de texto revelo que los escritores utilizaron estrategias de representacion (positiva y negativa), unificacion, evasion y trivializacion para crear la idea de nosotros y de ellos a traves de imagenes de invasores y conquistadores, de lo social, cultural, politico, influencias economicas y religiosas, y del impacto en el subcontinente indio y su gente. Este estudio recomienda que el ejercicio de diseno de libros de texto de historia se aborde como una disciplina que cubra toda la informacion historica sobre personas, cultura, tierras y logros.
