Abstract

This paper shows that the biotypological analysis developed by Jose Gomez Robleda with Mexican Indians were part of the post-revolutionary biopolitics that burst into the body and life of the population; of the instruments that legitimized the acculturation driven from power to westernize and mutate the essence of the society according to their interests, and of the new faces the nineteenth century racism acquired.
