Abstract

Introduction: Studies on masculinities in Latin America have diversified their thematic axes and one of them is related to ethno-racial issues. This article presents an analysis of the masculinization of the indigenous subject, a topic that needs to be addressed and discussed in conjunction with other theoretical corpus to understand that ethnicity and gender are categories related and linked to historical processes.

Method: A hermeneutical exercise is developed from the gender perspective to delve into the interpretive act on the understanding of indigenous masculinities as a social, historical and complex construction.
