BARONNET, Bruno. Challenging the State's policies: native peoples' education strategies in Colombia and Mexico. Rev. pueblos front. digit. [online]. 2013, vol.8, n.16, pp.126-156. ISSN 1870-4115.  https://doi.org/10.22201/cimsur.18704115e.2013.16.75.

The educational projects of politically organized native peoples in Cauca Department, Colombia, and in Chiapas State, Mexico, are viewed through analyzing political strategies for indigenous education. This article examines alternative bilingual teacher recruitment and training practices that represent new challenges for public policies. Social appropriation of schooling is inscribed within the framework of the struggle for greater control over educational processes at a communal level. Indigenous people in these multiethnic Latin American regions transform their educational reality at the same time generating proposals that tend toward autonomy in relation to the State. This contributes to placing indigenous administration and curriculum management strategies within the territory of endogenous policies and community participation practices in intercultural education.

Keywords : appropriation; Cauca; Chiapas; zapatism.
