"De eso que llaman antropología mexicana" a half century later

De eso que llaman antropología mexicana, first published in 1970, opened a crack in a disciplinary field that was thought until then to be homogeneous. But as we will see below, the real break with nationalist indigenism that the authors of this book claimed came years later when their sharp criticism of the Mexican State was materialized in a handful of mostly neoliberal reforms. The predictions of rupture of indigenist anthropology in Mexico were the end of a social state that could not deliver on its promises.
