The present study analyzed how teaching inspectors, State agents, history teaching specialists and historians intended to appropriate the celebrations of the centenary of the Brazilian Independence to affirm a certain vision of this historical fact in primary school. Through a documentary analysis of the magazine A Escola Primária, the theme was addressed from two perspectives. The first is historiographical disputes. The second is the pedagogical dimension based on the didactic transposition. The results indicate the investments of specialists in the school historical narrative about the Brazilian Independence practiced in primary education, considered an important way of consolidating the national identity.

Keywords : political emancipation; history; primary school; narrative.
