The text discusses having students visit historical sites and talk with people who experieced the violence in the country's recent history as a way of debunking "posiciones maniquies" on this history. I get the idea but can't think of how we say it in English.
Thanks!!

Manichaean positions/attitudes
It´s a typo, it should read “Manichaean”.

: I think you must be right: maniquíes for maniqueas. I suspect it's a malapropism rather than a typo.

Thank you, Charles. It´s clearly a typo. "Posición maniquí" is non-sensical (it actually doesn´t exist).

view... in black and white terms
maniquean is a literal translation, but I think not that many people will use the word on a daily basis and that "view in black and white terms" flows better.
