Resumen
Este artículo se fundamenta en el análisis de la discursividad de intelectuales de Guatemala y El Salvador de las primeras décadas del siglo XX. Explora en las narrativas del pasado indígena los ejes que dan sentido a una construcción identitaria de un nosotros híbrido. Debido a que el concepto de raza proveniente del mundo occidental es eje fundamental en la construcción identitaria, se indaga cómo los intelectuales se las ingenian para dar forma a una historia que permita rescatar al mundo indígena de la ominosa inferioridad de los pueblos coloniales. En el contexto del sentido de los conceptos de raza y civilidad, estrechamente vinculados entre sí, se intenta aprehender la elección de patrones narrativos comunes para hilvanar la historia de los ancestros indígenas, historia en la que también está inscrito el devenir de las naciones centroamericanas.

Guatemala and El Salvador in the first decades of the twentieth century. It explores in the narratives of the indigenous past the axes that give meaning to an identity construction of a hybrid “we”. Since the concept of race coming from the Western world is a fundamental axis in the construction of identity, it explores how intellectuals manage to shape a history that allows rescuing the indigenous world from the ominous inferiority of the colonial peoples. In the context of the meaning of the concepts of race and civility, closely linked to each other, we try to understand the choice of common narrative patterns to weave the history of the indigenous ancestors, a history in which the future of the Central American nations is also inscribed.
