The article is a reflection that seeks to answer the question of to what extent the ideas of the Mexican Revolution were reflected in the regional culture of Yucatan at the stage when a different Mexican identity was being built for post-revolutionary Mexico. It compares the kind of recognition that popular arts and crafts received in the center of the country and in Yucatan. As from the visit to Yucatan of José Vasconcelos, then Secretary of Education, his ideas of cultural mixing are taken into consideration and the situation that kept the local culture is described. Although several factors contributed in the fact that Yucatan assumedthe ideologies of cultural nationalism, the history and the appropiation that Yucatecan artists did of the Mayan symbols, provided its own nationalist expressions and even held a strong influence abroad.
