description Vicente Guerrero was a key figure in the founding of the Mexican nation, forming part of the military and political leaders of the independence movement and of the new monarchical and republican governments. When analyzing Guerrero’s life, Mexican historians have taken on the task of examining many different political aspects; in recent decades, academics in different disciplines with an interest in recovering the Afro-Mexican heritage have been focused on his genealogy. Nevertheless, by privileging his African ties, they have ignored others. This article shows that Guerrero displayed an ambiguity and multiplicity with regard to caste. As a result, nineteenth century politicians used this diversity to attribute different lineages to him in order to praise him, attack him or use him to illustrate a personal or political point. It explains the different perspectives of these politicians and their respective contexts, as well as the way in which these genealogical distinctions were articulated in Guerrero’s personal, sociocultural and political life. This discussion is important as these distinctions have remained a relevant question from the nineteenth century until today.

Vicente Guerrero representó una personalidad substancial en la fundación de la nación mexicana, ya que formó parte de los líderes militares y políticos en la revolución de independencia y la nueva gobernabilidad monárquica y republicana. Así, al analizar la vida de Guerrero, los historiadores mexicanistas se dieron a la tarea de examinar distintos aspectos políticos. Desde hace unas décadas, estudiosos de diversas disciplinas interesados en rescatar las herencias afrodescendientes y diásporas se enfocaron en los aspectos genealógicos. No obstante, al privilegiar los lazos africanos, ignoraron otros. Este ensayo demuestra que Guerrero manifestó una ambigüedad y multiplicidad relacionada con calidades/castas. En consecuencia, los políticos decimonónicos usaron esta diversidad para atribuirle diferentes linajes según buscaron vanagloriarlo, atacarlo o ejemplificar con fines personales o políticos. Explica las diferentes percepciones de estos políticos y sus respectivos contextos y, al igual, de qué manera estas distinciones genealógicas se articularon en la vida personal, sociocultural y política de este personaje. Esta discusión es significativa, ya que tales distinciones representan una cuestión de relevancia desde la época decimonónica hasta la actual.
