Historia Critica

Aims & Scope

The objective of Historia Crítica is to publish previously unpublished articles (in Spanish, English and Portuguese) written by national and international authors that will contribute to the study of History and the Social and Human Sciences, for a better understanding of the social, political, economic and cultural environment of the past and the present.
