Abstract
MORALES RUBIO, Josafat. Mexican Petroleum Expropriation in textbook: contributions to the social imaginary.. Revista de Psicologia [online]. 2018, n.19, pp.181-193. ISSN 2223-3032.
1938's Petroleum Expropriation has generated a big amount of historiographical pieces in México since briefly after it happened. Within these, we can find the libros de texto gratuito (free textbooks) which are mandatory for all elementary school students in México. Despite being a not very studied kind of historiography, free textbooks are in many cases the first place where Mexicans have access to their country's history, so they turn into a invaluable source to analyze the importance of oil within the social imaginary.
