THE CONSTRUCTION OF INTERCULTURALITY AND INDIANIZATION SINCE THE STATE: STUDY OF A CASE IN INDIGENOUS STUDENTS OF AN INTERCULTURAL UNIVERSITY

The intercultural education in Mexico is a recent project that has been assumed as a proposal of the cultural demands of indigenous communities; however, this proposal has its limitations. In this sense, it becomes essential the analysis of the forms in which interculturality has been assumed from the state, its policies and the educational approach. In this paper, we try to give a close up to this problematic to identify the institutional patterns from which the referents of "being indigenous" are transmitted and how ethnics identities of students who belong to indigenous communities are reformulated and what they study in an intercultural university.
