MENEZES, Roni Cleber Dias de. The ‘Public Education” Theme in Lorenzo Luzuriaga’s writing of theHistory of Education. Rev. Bras. Hist. Educ [online]. 2021, vol.21, e150.  Epub Dec 18, 2020. ISSN 2238-0094.  https://doi.org/10.4025/rbhe.v21.2021.e150.

This article addresses the presence of the ‘public education’ theme in the pedagogical work of the Spanish educator Lorenzo Luzuriaga, seeking to understand the traces of his writing of the history of education that are made known in the titles that compose the ‘Biblioteca del Maestro’, a collection organized by himself at Editorial Losada, Buenos Aires. Such traces are taken fundamentally from the analysis of the book Historia de la educación publica, published in 1946, and through an exploration of Luzuriaga’s intellectual journey. The procedures adopted intend to provide possible answers to the representations assumed by a notion that his New School orientation held dear, that of state prerogative in the organization of education, taking as observation angle one of the most representative works as to his way of writing the history of education. The results of the investigation point to the insertion of the theme into the perspective of internationalism that was gaining strength with the end of World War II and with the creation of institutions of global reach, such as the United Nations.

Keywords : school manuals; writing of the history of education; history of education intellectuals.
