INDEPENDENCIA EN EL EXTREMO SUR PERUANO DEL SIGLO XIX EN LOS TEXTOS ESCOLARES. INTERPRETACIÓN REGIONAL DE UN FENÓMENO CONTINENTAL.

In the paper we establish a relationship between Regional History and School Texts, having the Tarapacá region as a space of analysis. In making this connection, we explore the links between the problems associated with regional historiographic production and school texts on specific topics such as independence. The review is fundamentally documentary in nature, we approach from regional historiography the dynamics of Independence in Tarapacá; and we will try to evidence in some Peruvian school texts published between 2002 and 2018 elements that reveal the role of the regions in the independence process, with particular interest in the presence of Tarapacá in the explanations related to Latin American independence. When exploring the school texts from the perspective of regional history, the references to the local are framed among those that are circumscribed to the current national configurations, therefore, if the course of events is fixed, the current narrative reaches Tacna for the Peruvian extreme south.
