Resumen
HORBATH, Jorge E.. Rural exclusion and urban school segregation in the Southeast of Mexico: the case of indigenous children and youth. Espiral (Guadalaj.) [online]. 2013, vol.20, n.58, pp.135-169. ISSN 1665-0565.
The demography of the Southeast of Mexico is characterized by several contrasts including indigenous migration towards the cities of the region. Census data shows that the social gap is increasing and that new generations of indigenous population are losing their identity and tend to abandon their original language. This effect is reinforced by the fact that the urban school system has not been prepared for offering multicultural education to them. The article provides evidence to show that indigenous children and youth suffer a process of double exclusion: they are obliged to abandon their communities, and later on, are excluded from having access to a proper education.
Palabras llave : Social exclusion; rural-urban migration; indigenous children and youth; multicultural education.
