FAJARDO SALINAS, Delia María. Educación intercultural bilingüe en Latinoamérica: un breve estado de la cuestión. LiminaR [online]. 2011, vol.9, n.2, pp.15-29. ISSN 2007-8900.

This article aims to provide a quick understanding of how the Bilingual Intercultural Education emerged and developed in Latin America. First, we point out the background and then describe three main stages throughout the twentieth century, without intending to set precise boundaries, but rather trends assumed by the various educational systems. To describe the present situation we have established criteria that allow to observe the phenomenon from three different but complementary angles and get a comprehensive picture of what happens with the EIB in Latin American countries: his great achievements as well as the major obstacles still affect its feasibility and effectiveness of its implementation.

Palabras llave : intercultural bilingual education; maintenance model; transition model; bilingualism for language replacement; indigenous curriculum; colonized mind; empowerment.
