ARREDONDO VELAZQUEZ, Melina; LIMON AGUIRRE, Fernando y URDAPILLETA CARRASCO, Jorge. Social representation and youth identity construction in the Hakib’al, collective of Mayan Chuj cross-border people.Traducido porLuis Cejudo Espinoza. Frontera norte [online]. 2021, vol.33, e2157. Epub 13-Dic-2021. ISSN 2594-0260. https://doi.org/10.33679/rfn.v1i1.2157.
The research revolves around the construction of the social representation that is made of the “being young” within the Hakib'al collective, whose members, from Guatemalan families of the Mayan-Chuj people who were refugees, have had to migrate for academic reasons. In Mexico, their ethnic identity has been negatively affected by the disrespectful naturalization process of their discriminatory culture, policies and dynamics, which, as a group, they seek to confront through their cultural reivindication. Analyzing these representations, with a methodological triangulation contrasted with their cultural knowledge, an intention to extend their youthful condition is first distinguished, which breaks their conceptualization as a mere transition stage; that his dominant representation of “being a good young” reaches his entire being chuj and that the main transformation, product of his participation in the group and the completion of his studies, takes place among women.
