Description
Summary:Throughout the text, the existing connections between the discourses of two pedagogical journals, at the end of the 19th century, are compared and exposed: La Escuela Primaria de Yucatán, in Mexico, and the Revista de Instrucción Pública de Colombia. The idea of civilization is analyzed, a polysemic concept that is present in the documentary sources of both contexts, which was intimately associated with educational activity. Likewise, the construction of imaginaries and representations around the indigenous societies, that inhabit the Caribbean, are evaluated: Mayas, Arawaw and Wayuú during the consolidation of the young Latin American States.
