The last third of the 20th century was witness the agrarian transformation of the Huelva province coast. Its traditional agriculture turned into one of the most avant-garde and technical in Andalusia and Spain. Previously marginal lands, considered unproductive, became central. We dedicate the paper to the description and analysis of the local heterodox agrarian reform that initiated this transformation: the occupation, subdivision, and cultivation of the collective forest and bushland of El Avitorejo and surroundings, later known as Las Malvinas, in the township areas of Moguer and Palos de la Frontera.

In this paper we approach the process of construction of the Malvinas as a national cause in the school from the qualitative approach of 170 school textbooks published between 1870 and 1970. We seek to analyze the role that school history had in the configuration of this territorial claim that has been transformed into a national sentiment for Argentines. We note that during the first half of the 20th century, Malvinas was a subject ignored in the elementary education textbooks. It is transformed and presented as a true national cause in school textbooks published after 1950, promoted by Peronism and continued by subsequent governments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
