Sumario:In 2010, Mexico organized an extensive series of public ceremonies, videos, songs and speeches on occasion of the Bicentennial celebration of its Independence and of the Centennial celebration of the Mexican Revolution. The aim of this article is to analyze in which ways certain works on Mexican History for general audience published during the celebrations represented the Mexican past with two central axes: the pre-Columbian period and the Mexican Revolution. Due to the profusion of discourses produced in the period, we focus our attention on the works with the largest print run aimed at the non-specialist audience, among all the works organized during the Bicentennial celebrations or as part of them.
