Neste artigo pretendemos analisar o argumento segundo o qual a mestiçagem foi o meio fundamental de integração do índio à sociedade dominante em expansão. Elegemos como foco principal de nosso estudo o livro Formação do Brasil Contemporâneo, de Caio Prado Jr., por se tratar da principal obra histórica do autor e aquela que o alçou como um dos maiores expoentes da historiografia nacional. Enfocaremos o papel desempenhado pela idéia de mestiçagem no mito de fundação da nação brasileira, a mestiçagem como principal meio de integração social do índio e, finalmente, algumas armadilhas que a idéia de miscigenação produz, impedindo uma apreensão crítica da presença indígena no processo de desenvolvimento histórico do Brasil e do povo brasileiro. application/pdf http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/MA/article/view/11886 spa Sección Etnohistoria, Instituto de Ciencias Antropológicas.
