Photo was one of the main tools for the construction of the concept of indigenismo in the early decades of the twentieth century, yet in the wake of post revolutionary process and the nationalist movement to exalt the popular image of the country, says Deborah Dorotinsky "Cardenismo is one of the engines of study indigenismo in Mexico, are the years when you end up consolidating the concept of indigenous ".While the main presence of indigenismo in aesthetics they have a documentary source for custom same government or institutions seeking information about their lifestyle and journalistic works were also the subject of representation for artists of the lens as Manuel Alvarez Bravo or even in the drawings of Ral Anguiano. Study is based on a doctoral research on the conceptualization of indigenous in art. The book is concentrated on the Lacandon Indians portrayed during the first expeditions in the Lacandon Jungle, which paid the government to obtain information not only on the socio-cultural environment , but of natural resources such as oil and possibilities infrastructure for extraction. This is the concentrates on work by photographer Antonio Rodriguez and journalist Ricardo López Toralla beginning of the 1940s for the magazine Mañana magazine , where they recorded much of the activity of the Lacandon.
