José Vasconcelos y su paso por el Uruguay de los años veinte.

The article focuses on Mexican writer José Vasconcelos' visit to Uruguay in the 1920s, with particular attention to the effect the visit had on Vasconcelos' book, "La raza cósmica. Misión de la raza iberoamericana. Notas de viajes a la América del Sur." Vasconcelos is reported to have had specific expectations regarding the race of the Uruguayan people and the stability of their government, neither of which were met upon his visit. The article concludes that while there existed contradictions between Vasconcelos' expectations, reality and what was published in his book, he did provide a useful reflection for Uruguay to better understand itself as a nation.
