Abstract
SEGURA HERRERA, Tamara and HERNANDEZ-HERNANDEZ, Oscar Misael. Immigrant children and school interculturality in northern Chihuahua. Región y sociedad [online]. 2018, vol.30, n.73, 0001. ISSN 2448-4849. https://doi.org/10.22198/rys.2018.73.a929.
In the Mexican context, interculturality represents a discourse of recognition and respect for cultural diversity, in particular of indigenous peoples. The purpose of this article is to explore how interculturality among immigrant children of indigenous and mixed-race origins is constructed. The starting premise is that interculturality is also an interactive process of communication between individuals of different cultures. The methodology is based on the results of an anthropological study carried out at the Center for Comprehensive Attention to Migrant Children, in Ascension, Chihuahua. Based on observations and interviews, it was found that immigrant children construct interculturality in the classrooms, in the recreation areas, and during the journey to school. Therefore, the conclusion is that they do so in these school spaces, through relationships and meanings, sometimes in dispute, which they establish among themselves and with the teaching staff.
