Abstract

[...]they represent an important factor in the formation of thoughts of those who study them, Roda (sf) states that "the way to learn and how or through what you learn influences knowledge of the subject on his own activity" (p.1). [...]from the first pages of the text, Our Republican History, the affirmation of LeGoff regarding the inability to break away from subjectivity is evident. To understand the latter, we must emphasize that Chavez government was the one that rescued the figure of Bolivar to establish a national identity in Venezuela and an intimate connection between him and the people, so Chávez and Bolívar are linked under the common denominator of saviors of the country. [...]LeGoff (1997) states that the historian Has no right to pursue a demonstration in spite of the evidence, to defend a cause, whatever it may be, he should establish the truth and make it manifest. While it is true that Venezuela was declared free of illiteracy, it is also true that the census in 2011 showed that the illiteracy rate was 5.23%, which means a step back from the achieved success. [...]according to Professors of economics and Latin American studies at Wesleyan University, they asserts that "there is no official statistics to record such an achievement and, if the government used the reports of its facilitators, the figures can be highly overrated" Another aspect that derives from the statements of LeGoff is reflected on page 185, where the progress of the Bolivarian Revolution in the development of public safety and national defense is described. According to the Metropolitan Observatory on Citizen Security of Caracas, built on the basis of official and unofficial figures, the year 2011 represents the most violent year on record in the history of our country. [...]the Global Study on Homicides, published by the UN "placed Venezuela as the South American country with the highest rate of kidnappings, unofficial figures showed that, in 2011, 1,150 cases were reported in the country, ie, three daily"(p.1).
