Abstract

The present article is one of the results of doctoral research in Psychology and deals with the discourses about Palestine in the History textbook of the Adventist Educational Network. Considering that the Palestinian issue is quite distorted by the hegemonic narrative, inciting prejudices and stereotypes, the objective of this work was to analyze how the topic is approached by the didactic narrative, considering its educational and social responsibility. The methodology used was bibliographic and documentary research based on a decolonial analytical perspective. The results demonstrate that the narrative softens historical facts and silences various violence suffered in the Palestinian territories, due to the military occupation, ethnic cleansing, the apartheid regime, and colonialism, in the case of a symbolic erasure and an epistemicide. We conclude that the narrative needs important corrections in order to convey the actual reality of this context and enable students to become more critically aware of it.
