History from the edges: Teaching local history as a reconstruction and identity development of the South; [Historia desde los bordes: enseñanza de la historia local como reconstrucción y desarrollo identitario del Sur]

Resumen

History from the edges is an approach to decoloniality that aims to make marginalized-popular history visible with the intention of vindicating/emancipating the man from the South and placing him within the world historical-academic dialogue. Local history seems to be a viable path for this purpose, the reconstruction and identity reconfiguration of the past depends on its teaching from a perspective different from the modern-western one. The object of study is to reflect, from a decolonial perspective, on how local historical teaching and its link with identity allow us to see other possibilities of education in the face of Euro-North American-centrism. The results of the bibliographic analysis determine a relationship between the local, identity and decoloniality-popular that can be configured as an educational method of epistemic resistance, for which it is concluded that there is a need, from the pedagogical point of view, to rethink teaching by showing the student body the historical counterpart that allows him to identify himself and be part of it. © 2023, Universidad Cientifica del Sur.
