Abstract

Throughout the text is exposed the relevance of the concept of historical memory to account for historical processes considering the facts and conditions that define the present time. The use of historical memory in teaching-learning processes of new citizens is essential for the significant understanding of both the fundamental historical facts that are a constitutive part of the reproduction of collective identity and the facts that are happening in the historical context in which that are found and that would only make sense if analyzed from a historical perspective. The above is important because what is proposed is to rescue the history of the subaltern subjects in their organizational and struggle processes in order to broaden the content of those elements that allow a comprehensive explanation of the present, which could be achieved by fostering a critical and problematizing attitude of the historical circumstances experienced by the students themselves in daily life, necessarily linked to wider social contexts in which they are immersed.
