Salvador Roquet, María Sabina, and the Trouble withJipis
While María Sabina has long been an iconic figure among drug enthusiasts and advocates for indigenous rights, her sometime collaborator Salvador Roquet remains largely unknown. This essay introduces the work of this iconoclastic psychiatrist and, in particular, his work with Sabina, highlighting their contributions to the world of psychedelic psychiatry and exploring the nature of their exchanges. Beyond examining the contours of the therapeutic …
Histories and Memories of the Indian Boarding Schools in Mexico, Canada, and the United States
Indigenismo can be found in almost every country in the Americas. Most indigenistas attempted to write the Indian into their national pasts and adopted similar modernizing projects. Still, what appears to be a common history can be deceiving. Examination of one indigenista project in three distinct American contexts-the indigenous boarding schools in Mexico, Canada, and the United States-indicates considerable differences in practice. For one thi…
Wild Indians,” “Mexican Gentlemen,” and the Lessons Learned in the Casa del Estudiante Indígena, 1926-1932
In their zeal to transform rural society during the 1920s, Mexican educators undertook a number of projects that in retrospect seem unusual. Fancying themselves as the intellectual heirs of the earliest Catholic friars, they sent “missionaries” into the countryside to preach the gospel of progress, developed rigid definitions of the appropriate forms of rural living, and even taught school children in Mexico City to paint according to pre-Colombi…

Nationalist Myths and Ethnic Identities: Indigenous Intellectuals and the Mexican State
The Mexican pedagogues who launched a standardized national curriculum during the 1960s would likely be dismayed by the attitudes that Natividad Gutiérrez encountered among indigenous intellectuals thirty years later. Having largely rejected the assimilationist goals of the Ministry of Education (SEP), the students educated in these programs are now Mexico’s most ardent advocates of multiculturalism and self-empowerment for indigenous peoples. Ac…
From Models for the Nation to Model Citizens: Indigenismo and the 'Revindication' of the Mexican Indian, 1920-40
This article examines the creation of an Indian ideal within Indigenismo in the years 1920-40. While scholars argue that Indigenismo described a degenerate Indian 'other', this article shows that it often represented the Indian as a model for revolutionary politics and culture. This is evident first in Indigenista celebrations of Indian cultures during the 1920s, and in their valorisation of Indians as rational political actors with modern sensib…
