Explain why the first “India Bonita” contest take place in Mexico City in 1921?

Explain why the first “India Bonita” contest take place in Mexico City in 1921? Had something
changed with respect to how indigenous people were perceived in postrevolutionary Mexico?
Was this a case of top-down social engineering, or something else? Did the contest raise the
status of indigenous women? Why or why not? Cite López, of course, but as you discuss
postrevolutionary Mexico, you should draw from and cite Sherman, The Mexico Reader, and
class notes.
