Review of the book "Adolfo Prieto" Schools. Memories of the educational grandeur of the Monterrey Iron and Steel Foundry Company, S.A.

Abstract

A review is included of the book published by Alberto Casillas Hernández, in which he discusses everything that happened at the "Adolfo Prieto" Schools, which were part of Fundidora Fierro y Acero de Monterrey, S.A. In this reviewed work, Casillas draws on a variety of sources, including newspaper, bibliographic, photographic, and oral sources, among others. The book's mission is to preserve the memory of this group of schools and ensure that they are not forgotten, as they are part of the steel company's industrial heritage. These institutions emerged with the purpose of training the children of the company's workers so that, in the future, they could use the knowledge they acquired to contribute to steel production.
