In July 1920, José Vasconcelos was appointed dean of the Universidad Nacional by president General Álvaro Obregón and, in October 1921, he was in charge of the Ministry of Education, position he occupied until July 1924. During this period, Vasconcelos started an ambitious educational and cultural plan that included literacy campaigns, printing and distribution of books all around the country, building of libraries and support for the arts. The aim of this essay is to analyze this project, specially the educational plan for the indigenous and rural populations, to see if it contributed, as Vasconcelos pretended, to the construcction of an autoaffirmative nationalism and if it could help to transform Mexico in a modern country.
