Abstract

This article is divided into two sections. The first section is dedicated to the study of the Pan American Union, with emphasis on the presentation of its central objectives. One of these goals was to create a sense of unity among the different countries of Americas. In the second section, a publication from the Pan American Union will be analyzed - the collection entitled “Pan American Patriots”, will be analyzed. In this article it will be argued that the Pan American Union sought to foster the idea of pan-Americanism, which gains a past that has since embraced much of the countries of the Americas. The article is included in the area of the history of historiography and is based on the analyzes developed by the decolonial studies.
