| Summary: | This article is based on ethnographic fieldwork carried out inside the Universidad Veracruzana Intercultural (uvi). As a first step, this institution is described as a new space of hybridizing discourses and identities which result from the reshaping of the Mexican state through the confluence of alternative interests, which differ from traditional indigenist policies which until recently have dominated indigenous education in Mexico. The analysis illustrates how the UVI appears when social movements democratically claim for greater equity, inclusion and participation of historically marginalized, mostly indigenous groups. The different educational and political actors –ngo representatives, governmental institutions and academics– who intervene in this higher education project are finally scrutinized and compared in their impact on the university’s intercultural discourse and praxis. |
