ESQUIVEL, RENÉ MEDINA. “The makers of men”: Fight over Control of School and Public Spaces in Mexican Mining Communities, 1917-1978. Cad. Hist. Educ. [online]. 2018, vol.17, n.3, pp.668-690.  Epub May 08, 2019. ISSN 1982-7806.  https://doi.org/10.14393/che-v17n3-2018-5.

The Education Project of the Post-revolutionary Government was especially important in the consolidation of the new State. Using the education project, the Government established an alliance with the mining workers to fight for the control that the great transnational companies wanted. The Mexican Constitution of 1917 eliminated the concept of liberal laws, and reestablished the principle of national domain and property of the subsoil goods and chattels. The Mexican State had to fight a long battle to dispute the control of economic, work, social, and tributary aspects of mining, with foreign companies. The purpose of this paper was to present the conflictive relationship between the Government and the transnational companies. The mining communities were the realm of dispute over control of schools and public spaces.

Keywords : “Enclave” Project; National Post-revolutionary Project; Mining Communities.
