          Abstract

          Se analiza el tema del racismo tanto desde el punto de vista teórico -en referencia fundamentalmente con sus lógicas centrales y en su relación con la modernidad- como desde el de sus manifestaciones concretas en México. Para ello, se revisan algunos conceptos centrales para ubicar el problema de la raza considerada como una construcción social, frente a otras construcciones sociales centrales: la etnicidad y el género. Tales conceptos son la igualdad, la identidad-otredad, la intolerancia, la exclusión y la discriminación. Después trata de demostrar hasta qué punto en México el racismo anti-indígena, a pesar de haber sido negado durante tantas décadas tras el mito del mestizaje, es un fenómeno claro y de gran peso social; y, finalmente, de qué maneras concretas se ha entretejido en México el racismo con la discriminación de género, lo cual ha hecho de las indígenas mexicanas los seres más excluidos del goce de la ciudadanía.

          Translated abstract

          This article analyzes the issue of racism from a theoretical standpoint (referring mainly to its central logic and its relationship with modernity) and its specific manifestations in Mexico. To this end, the author reviews certain central concepts in order to situate the problem of race regarded as a social construction, in relation to other central social constructions, namely ethnicity and gender. These concepts include equality, identity-otherness, intolerance, exclusion and discrimination. The author then tries to prove the extent to which, despite having been hidden for decades behind the myth of miscegenation, anti-indigenous racism in Mexico is a definite phenomenon with an enormous social importance. Finally, she explores the specific ways in which racism has been interwoven with gender discrimination in Mexico, which has meant that Mexican indigenous women are one of the groups with least access to citizenship.
