Resumen
Although the nuclear family in Mexico is the main form of familial organization, little is known about its characteristics and historical development. Historians have indicated that the nuclear family has existed since the colonial period, but there has been no identification of its similarities or differences with the contemporary nuclear family or with the Western nuclear family described in classical sociology. The article analyzes the emergence of the nuclear family in Mexico and points to its particularities and differences in comparison with the Western nuclear family. This exploration is based on three analytic dimensions: family structure, family relationships and kinship relationships. The thesis I propose is that, contrary to what has been stated by some historians, from a sociocultural point of view, the nuclear family did not emerge during the colonial period. En la actualidad, la familia nuclear constituye la principal forma familiar en México. A pesar de esta presencia mayoritaria, conocemos poco sobre sus características y sobre su desarrollo histórico. Los historiadores han indicado que ya existía desde el periodo colonial, pero no se han identificado ni sus similitudes ni sus diferencias respecto de la familia nuclear contemporánea o de la familia nuclear occidental descrita en la sociología clásica. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar la emergencia de la familia nuclear en México y describir sus particularidades y diferencias en comparación con la familia nuclear occidental. Esta exploración se realiza a partir de tres dimensiones analíticas: la estructura familiar, las relaciones familiares y las relaciones de parentela. La tesis que se propone es que, contrariamente a lo que han afirmado algunos historiadores, la familia nuclear, desde un punto de vista sociocultural, no surgió durante el período colonial.
