La búsqueda del término en el contexto de Enrique Florescano revela la necesidad histórica de repensar a México. La obra del historiador demuestra que una nación verdadera no puede construirse destruyendo sus raíces étnicas ni centralizando el poder del Estado en detrimento de la diversidad.

Published in 1997 (with later editions by Taurus and Alfaguara), Etnia, Estado y Nación is an ambitious 512-page essay on collective identities in Mexico.

Florescano dedicates substantial space to exploring the concept of "etnia" (ethnicity) in the Mexican context. He argues that from the colonial era onward, indigenous communities were systematically constructed as the "other"—a problem to be managed, assimilated, or eliminated.

By examining the shifts in ethnic identity, Florescano shows how indigenous peoples were simultaneously a foundational part of Mexico’s mythical past (the grandeur of the Aztecs) and a marginalized presence in its modernizing present. He notes that the "great excluded" from the triumphant, nationalist narrative were the living Indians and the heirs of the conservatives.
