Miradas olvidadas: la docencia en Chihuahua en los inicios del siglo XX

Abstract

The paper presents an approach to working conditions and daily life of teachers in elementary schools in Chihuahua in the first decade of the twentieth century. The text was constructed with materials stockpiled in the Archivo de Concentración of the State Government. The teachers in this period lived specific working conditions associated with the development of the last era of Porfirio Díaz presidency in the entity, and with the gestation of the revolutionary movement. Finally, the value of the records-especially the photographic material-for the study of the history of education stands out.
