RIVERA-GONZALEZ, José Guadalupe. Youth in Latin America: a reflection from the experience of exclusion and culture. Pap. poblac [online]. 2013, vol.19, n.75, pp.9-34. ISSN 2448-7147.

This paper presents a diagnostic about the tensions and dilemmas in currently immersed Latin American youths. This balance is based on the results of recent publications, which in recent years have helped to know more in detail the issues and perceptions of young people in relation to a series that ultimately exercise experience, in one or another way, an impact in many areas of daily life, from the experience of social exclusion, to the experience of the construction and reconstruction of youth identities in a context of sharp inequalities, tensions and fragmentation.
