Texts of the Bicentennial Collection: Our Republican History. Second Year Social Sciences

Abstract

The present work of research has as its aims the analysis, comparison and building of a constructive criticism of the texts of the bicentennial collection implemented by the government of Venezuela. Starting from the idea that each historian reconstructs the history based on his interests and objectives, then we begin a count of what the text Our republican history contains, specifically what is related to the chapter dealing with the government of Rómulo Betancourt and the first governments Rafael Caldera and Carlos Andrés Pérez. This because the three characters will become emblematic for the republican history of Venezuela, either for their contributions or their political, social and economic decisions. Each government will be reviewed as it appears in the text of the bicentennial collection and then it will be compared with other major works of Venezuelan historians. The comparison will provide an opportunity to compare views and verify how the story will usually have a significant bias as research often has particular causes.
