Abstract

This article proposes the constitution of a new prespective about the historiography over México. It begins with the historic situation: the confrotation between the Federation against the States and Town Councils during the XIX century and it marks how the historic explanation was accompaning these events. Florescano reflects how, little by little, the new historiographic canon was set up: The Nation History. He makes an analysis of the main characteristics of the written histories by Manuel Larráinzar, Jóse Ma. Vigil, Vicente Riva Palacio and Justo Sierra. This article gives a particular emphasis on the analysis of the books: México, a través de los siglos and Evolución política del pueblo mexicano.
