Abstract

The article studies in depth the construction, production and formation of the ethnic categories in Latin America throughout history. It is postulated that from the first years of the discovery of America, the Spanish were constructing a border that was translated in terms of civilization and barbarism. As colonization advanced, these borders between civilization and barbarism were redefined and continued being functional to the different objectives of the governing.
This way, the formation of the ethnic categories was extending throughout time in answer to the different historical stages and their interests. Finally, the conformation of the Argentine
national State is analyzed and it is shown the way in which the borders drawn up by the Spanish were projected in the republican stage as well as they continue to the present time.
