«Salazar é que era bom»? A temática do Estado Novo nos manuais escolares portugueses do 9.º ano de escolaridade

Resumo

A controversial and difficult discussion topic in the context of generational dialogue in Portugal, the visions of the New State as a political regime continue to be disparate and based on the duality between «good» and «evil». Functioning as a way of transmitting ideology and values, History textbooks play an important role in the way this regime is understood by the new generations. How textbooks contribute to a critical position on this political regime is the central issue of this paper.
