| 總結: | Between 1750 an 1850, the actegory of race and its various meanings in Mexico were condensed in only one, which sought to establish which ethnic groups could be absorbed or should be rejected by the world vision of a national indentity built by political, social and cultural elites. Thus, the category of race, explictly or implicitly expressed in different texts, allowed to define the limits of diversity within the nation, as well as to produce- -simbolically- the illusion of stable common identity, since it established the coordinates of a Mexican "we", as opposed to or assimilated to the indigenous and mixed with the castes of New Spain.
