RAMOS ARCOS, Víctor Hugo. Maya or Mayan Origin Youths towards University: Inequalities, Agency and Social Mobility. Estud. cult. maya [online]. 2021, vol.58, pp.237-270.  Epub 04-Out-2021. ISSN 0185-2574.  https://doi.org/10.19130/iifl.ecm.2021.58.23868.

In recent years, the indigenous population in Mexico increased their access to higher education. From an analytical perspective on social inequalities, this article approaches the educational trajectories of Maya or Mayan origin youths who have accessed at the university in Yucatan. It shows how a restricted access to the structure of opportunities based on social origin and a precarious school environment translates into the perpetuation of educational disadvantageous conditions up to the university level. However, it is also identified that in these environments, the interaction with social agents is a key factor in favoring a change of direction towards more favorable educational contexts. It also identifies a privileged sector of young people from families who have experienced processes of social mobility, that makes their educational trajectories a more stable path with less obstacles.
