COBA, Lorgio G.. The Mayan Yucatec population at the University of Yucatan: socioeconomic analysis of exclusion, 1922-1990. Am. Lat. Hist. Econ [online]. 2019, vol.26, n.3, e956.  Epub Sep 06, 2019. ISSN 2007-3496.  https://doi.org/10.18232/alhe.956.

The present paper studies and analyzes the slow process of incorporation of the Yucatec Mayan population to higher education. The university population is analyzed through the use of quantitative tools, and it is shown that the Yucatec Maya began its presence in the University of Yucatan from the middle of the last century. The text argues that even though the university has been inclusive, there were exclusion mechanisms that operated against the income of Maya population to their vocational training spaces. Among others, the most important tools of exclusion are the economic inequalities, key conditions in times of economic crisis, and that determined academic success.

Keywords : university; Mayas of Yucatan; exclusion; economic conditions.
