  • The central hypothesis of this article is that the way in which school textbooks have hen regulated has not been a constant one, but has changed according to the �reason� prevailing between three main actors related to education: the corporation of educators, the State and last, the market. Besides, the historical study of schoolbook regulations proves that these variations do not seem to be directly linked to the political nature of the governments (democratic or resulting from a coup d'etat) but to the logic of such actors, and in a clear pursue one goal: argentine children should be educated according to the proper patterns of argentine nationality and, therefore, school textbooks were to preserve the �argentine way of life�.
