El indigenismo en México como racismo de Estado: mestizaje asimilacionista y esterilización forzada
Indigenism in Mexico as a State Racism: Assimilationist Aiscegenation and Forced Sterilization

Summary/Abstract: This paper explores the different dimensions of racism, to build a category of State racism that allows to analyze the indigenist device, with a double objective. First, to expose the efforts to systematize the racist theories and practices that base the organized intervention and regulated on the indigenous population. Second, show how, despite the fact that indigenist policies have been substantially modified, state racism subsists, not so much because of its forms (which are largely hidden) but because of its foundations and objectives, namely: discrimination, subordination, segregation, exploitation, dispossession and extermination of culturally differentiated ethnic groups. For this, two paradigmatic devices of indigenist policies are analyzed: assimilationist miscegenation and forced sterilization.
