INTERCULTURALIDAD E INDIGENISMO: RETOS DE LAS POLITICAS EDUCATIVAS ANTE LA DIVERSIDAD CULTURAL

Abstract

This addresses the particular and distinctive features of two LatinAmerican regions characterised by the multi-ethnic and plurinationalnature of their societies, such as Mexico and Peru. A qualitativemethodological approach has been used, focused on the analysis ofofficial documents and secondary sources, with the aim of understandinghow the educational policies aimed at indigenous populations have beendefined and identifying the political, social and economic conditions inwhich they have been developed. In this sense, it is intended to showhow the different indigenous movements and the gradual recognition of indigenous minorities by the educational administrations havepromoted the development of a model of intercultural education withhigh standards for all citizens in these regions, fostering an interculturaldialogue.
