BARONNET, Bruno. Right to education and Zapatista autonomy in Mexico. Convergencia [online]. 2015, vol.22, n.67, pp.85-110. ISSN 2448-5799.

Some political practices of indigenous education in the jungle valleys of Ocosingo in Chiapas are analyzed here from a sociological approach. The Zapatista experience of autonomy demonstrates a profound questioning of the educational policies of the nationstate. Education projects in indigenous peoples from Zapatista municipalities challenge the institutionalized practices of the dominant actors in this field in Mexico and in the Latin American context as one of the struggles of indigenous peoples to change the norms of educational policy. Furthermore, the Zapatista experience in the region of recovered land from the Lacandon Jungle questions the limitations of the national project of theories and practices inherited from the Mexican indigenismo. Today, those are immersed in the discourses of neoliberal multiculturalism that tend to avoid the social issue of political autonomy.
