TRAFFANO, Daniela. Educación, civismo y catecismos políticos. Oaxaca, segunda mitad del siglo XIX. RMIE [online]. 2007, vol.12, n.34, pp.1043-1063. ISSN 1405-6666.
The nineteenth century in Mexico was characterized by repeated, violent conflicts and profound cultural change. “Nation” and “citizen” were the concepts that took shape during that period, and education -especially civic education- was considered one of the most important means for their materialization and transmission. According to the politicians and intellectuals of the era, education would transform the Mexican people into citizens, and the republic of Mexico into a modern country. This article presents the discourse of elite groups in Oaxaca who during the second half of the nineteenth century, suggested the need for education -civic education- for the masses; it also makes note of the historical precedents of the pedagogical instrument used for that education -political catechism- and analyzes the three Oaxacan catechisms published between 1857 and 1890.
