Abstract

This article deals with public education and the teaching of history in Brazil and Argentina from the national legislations and curriculums from the last decades to identify the space dedicated to the teaching of Latin American history over the school years. The theoretical and methodological guidelines that served as the bases for the comparative analyses are related to the approach of Connected Stories, bringing out the similarities and differences contextualized by the ties that bind each national history to the other countries of a region. In the specific case of the teaching of Latin American history, such connections refer to the formative processes of today and the resources that are used. In the field of curriculum, the curriculum as prescription was considered, which supports important mystiques about state, schooling and society. At the end, it can be concluded that, although the issue has gained space in most current documents, the selection and organization of content suitable for regulating national education does not allow an identification of common interests, which could act in building collective perspectives for the future of the continent.
