| Sumario: | The use of History to validate authoritarian governments is an issue that has been approached in many ways. On the other hand, research on the narratives of a past character elaborated by the autocrats themselves is not common. The aim of this article is to "listen" to the "voice of the dictators" in order to review their historical interpretations and identify the strategies used to make them functional to their interests. A comparative analysis of texts by Francisco Franco (Spain, 1939-1975) and Alfredo Stroessner (Paraguay, 1954-1989) referring to h(H)istory is proposed. These are two reasonably comparable cases whose examination allows establishing certain regularities. |
