Caricature

This book, entitled Caricature as a strategy in the interpretation of historical sources, was born out of a constant concern that has arisen in my pedagogical work in recent years, when I observed in my students little motivation for historical topics, perhaps dictated in a traditional and tedious way by us teachers; realising this great disinterest and seeing that times are changing and the uses of technology are accelerating, I decided to look for an attractive, creative and humorous strategy to connect these new generations with historical ties. With this, I intend to introduce students to historical research, but in an active and participatory way; as they will resort to researching primary or secondary sources to learn about past events and then apply the caricature as an attractive resource for their study.
