A third were published before the year 2000, and two thirds in the 21st century.\u00a0We can see relevant topics that are silenced or have little presence:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span>There are few allusions to the\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.planetadelibros.com\/libro-el-descubrimiento-de-europa\/374511\"><span>enslavement of the Amerindian population<\/span><\/a><span>\u00a0during the first phases of the conquest of America.\u00a0The manuals insist on the unique and humanitarian character of the Laws of the Indies and the Las Casas-Sep\u00falveda debate.\u00a0Only two manuals incorporate texts that allude to Columbus&#8217;s proposals for his enslavement.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>The transatlantic trade of Africans is not affected.\u00a0On the rare occasions where this theme is introduced, it is attributed to foreign powers: Portugal, France, England and Holland.\u00a0It is rarely indicated that the Spanish crown was in charge of signing the licenses and permits for the introduction of slaves into its colonies, or the percentage they received for the transaction.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>When the theme of slavery is introduced in contemporary times, it is associated with the North American civil conflict between 1861 and 1865. In both ESO and Baccalaureate, the relevant role of the slave economy in Cuba linked to sugar production has been ignored.\u00a0Nor has the influence of slave pressure groups on Spanish politics during the 19th century been explored in depth.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Regarding the abolitionist movements and subsequent racism, the manuals focus on contemporary society in the United States. The Spanish Abolitionist Society is barely mentioned, or the connection with feminist thinkers such as Gertrudis G\u00f3mez de Avellaneda, Carolina Coronado and Concepci\u00f3n Arenal.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4><strong>The story of slavery in other countries<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span>The absence of these topics in Spanish manuals is a consequence of a systematic forgetfulness in the school curriculum.\u00a0A situation that contrasts with other countries that are protagonists of the Atlantic trafficking.\u00a0Among the objectives of the history subject, in\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dge.mec.pt\/sites\/default\/files\/Curriculo\/Aprendizagens_Essenciais\/3_ciclo\/historia_3c_8a_ff.pdf\"><span>Portugal<\/span><\/a><span>\u00a0it is proposed to &#8220;Understand that the prosperity of the imperial powers was also due to the trafficking of human beings, mainly from Africa to the plantations of the Americas.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.education.gouv.fr\/les-programmes-du-college-3203\"><span>France,<\/span><\/a><span>\u00a0\u201cMercantile bourgeoisies, international trade, slave trade and slavery in the 18th century\u201d appears as basic knowledge of the history curriculum.\u00a0In the\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/phi.history.ucla.edu\/nchs\/history-standards\/\"><span>US<\/span><\/a><span>\u00a0it is indicated that the curriculum \u201cwill prepare students to investigate the conditions under which the Atlantic slave trade developed.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>This has its consequences in the manuals.\u00a0<\/span><em><span>In France, for example, an entire topic (usually between 14-18 pages) is dedicated to it in quatri\u00e8me<\/span><\/em><span>\u00a0textbooks\u00a0(students aged 13-14).\u00a0It explains how and where Africans were captured, the harsh journey crammed into boats, forced labor on American plantations, the revolts, and the abolitionist movements.\u00a0Also in second-year\u00a0<\/span><em><span>Key Stage 3<\/span><\/em><span>\u00a0English books (12-13 years old), a chapter is usually dedicated to addressing the slave trade holistically, working with texts, images and different interpretations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>The new curriculum in Spain<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span>In Spain, the new\u00a0history\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.boe.es\/buscar\/act.php?id=BOE-A-2022-4975\"><span>curriculum approved in 2022 prescribes for the first time the study of \u201cinvisible people in history: women, slaves and foreigners.\u201d <\/span><\/a><span>The impact has been immediate in the ESO and Baccalaureate school manuals published in 2022 and 2023.
