La historia de México en el discurso presidencial de Andrés Manuel López Obrador, el dogma de la historiografía nacionalista, 2018-2024
This paper analyzes the political use of Mexican history during the administration of Andrés Manuel López Obrador. Using the methodology of historiographic analysis, we analyze certain passages of Mexican history that this administration used as a platform for its political projects. It studies the presidential vision of projecting his administration as a continuation of Mexican history, the «Fourth Transformation». The article uses to understand AMLO’s contributions to Mexican historiography, through his communications and his books where a nationalist discourse was detected to explain his government project. A conclusion reached is to give an example of the validity of the uses of the past as an analytical category of those modern regimes that see history as a teacher of life or as an inheritance of the historical processes of their respective countries and their political repercussions.
