The type of population, one could say, to whom the acculturation or de-Indianization policies, conceived in nineteenth century Mexico and deployed in the twentieth century in order to forge a Mexican nationality, were directed. These people live in, or maintain formal ties with, their communities of origin, which during the Viceroyalty had the legal status of “republics of Indians”. Despite profound economic and educational changes - in addition to the predictions of various strands of modernization theories - rather than disappearing, these communities remain strong and are essential components in understanding Mexican social formation today. Me propongo analizar un tipo particular de comunidad a la que pertenecen decenas de millones de mexicanos cuyos ascendentes, de una o varias generaciones atrás, hablaban lenguas indígenas. El tipo de población, se podría decir, al que se dirigieron las políticas de aculturación o desindianización, gestadas en el México del siglo XIX y desplegadas en el XX en aras de forjar una nacionalidad mexicana. Estas personas viven en, o mantienen vínculos formales con, sus comunidades de origen que durante el Virreinato tenían la categoría jurídica de “repúblicas de indios”. A pesar de profundos cambios económicos y educativos -además de las predicciones de diversas vertientes de las teorías de modernización-, en lugar de desaparecer, estas comunidades se mantienen fuertes y son componentes esenciales para entender la formación social mexicana de hoy. Proponho analisar um tipo específico de comunidade à qual pertencem dezenas de milhões de mexicanos cujos ancestrais, de uma ou várias gerações atrás, falavam línguas indígenas. Poderíamos dizer que esse tipo de população foi alvo das políticas de aculturação ou desindianização, concebidas no México do século XIX e implementadas no século XX em uma tentativa de forjar uma nacionalidade mexicana. Essas pessoas vivem ou mantêm vínculos formais com suas comunidades de origem, que, durante o vice-reinado, tinham o status legal de “repúblicas indígenas”. Apesar das profundas mudanças econômicas e educacionais - além das previsões de várias vertentes das teorias da modernização -, em vez de desaparecerem, essas comunidades permanecem fortes e são componentes essenciais para a compreensão da formação social mexicana atual. application/pdf text/html https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/runa/article/view/14262 10.34096/runa.v45i1.14262 spa Instituto de Ciencias Antropológicas, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, UBA https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/runa/article/view/14262/12505 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/runa/article/view/14262/12849 RUNA, archivo para las ciencias del hombre; Vol. 45 No. 1 (2024): Ethnographic challenges.
