Diversity and conflict among indigenous university students before the educational policy of interculturality in Chiapas

Abstract

This paper discusses on Intercultural Politics and Educational Programms throgouht the Intercultural Univerisyt of Chiapas’ students. We take indigenous youth experiences at the university as the main discourses to analyze the education proceses and also the subjectity, that is, the critics that they offered to us about this educational model. The university context is seen as a meeting area where cultural boundaries take place. Diversity, dialogue and cultural conflict feed the social relationships among these students. Findings let us argument that after finishing school the youth change their way of thinking and this can be understood by their awareness on racism and other inequalities.
