El presente libro ostenta diversas reflexiones acerca de la situación en que se encuentran los pueblos indígenas y su relación con el Estado y la sociedad no indígena. La cuantificación que nos ofrece el INEGI en los datos del Censo de Población y Vivienda 2010, es de 15.7 millones de indígenas en México, de los cuales poco más de seis millones hablan alguna lengua indígena. Esta población está repartida en 62 pueblos indígenas que hablan 89 diversas lenguas. El censo elabora la cuantificación de esta población a través de indicadores como el hablar una lengua indígena o la autoadscripción. Estos indicadores, desde la perspectiva positivista, son suficientes, "científicos" y objetivos. Desde otras perspectivas cualitativas y en sentido crítico, se argumenta que en los censos se ocultan realidades debido al racismo inherente en la misma conceptualización y determinación de los indicadores de los censos. Esto ha sido denominado con el término etnocidio estadístico demográfico indígena.

Es posible afirmar que en pleno siglo XXI la población tiene una vida más prolongada debido a la mejora en los adelantos médicos y atención en salud, educación y en lo relativo al bienestar económico. Sin embargo, el envejecimiento poblacional lleva consigo desafíos políticos, económicos, sociales y culturales. Dar cuenta de este proceso social ha requerido y seguirá requiriendo de investigaciones y estudios que expliquen los factores determinantes que confluyen en esta circunstancia, y aporten elementos para abordar de la mejor manera los aspectos que tienen que ver con la calidad de vida en esta última etapa de la existencia de las personas. Esto convierte al envejecimiento demográfico en un asunto de Estado. Sin duda estos procesos de cambios demográficos están transformando el panorama social que habrá de modificar las políticas públicas hacia estos grupos de edad.

First Published in 1994. In nearly all racially and ethnically heterogeneous societies, there is overt national conflict among parties and social movements organized on the basis of race and ethnicity. Such conflict has been much less evident in Latin America. Scholars have pondered the nature of race and ethnicity with regard to both Afro- American and Indo-American societies, though research on Brazil has been particularly prominent. Special attention has been given to the relationship between social class and race and ethnicity.
