Sumario:In Mexico and particularly in his small homeland, the state of Veracruz, the figure of Doctor Gonzalo Aguirre Beltrán is widely recognized. In this work, the Mexican researcher Luz María Martínez Montiel tells us about Doctor Aguirre's legacy as a medical surgeon, a surgeon who with the passage of time became a social scientist, and whose work opened areas of research in which no one had published until then. A case in point is The Black Population of Mexico, 1519-1810: An Ethnohistoric Study, published in 1946, and now one of the classics of Latin American anthropological literature.
