• Abstract:

  The main objective of this research is to reveal how formal education, received by young people of indigenous origin and mestizos who live in San Cristóbal de Las Casas, Chiapas affects social interaction that occurs in the school context and outside of this, through identifying their socio-regional and demographic conditions, as well as the repercussion that this entails in the construction of their identity and intercultural coexistence. The investigation pretends to trigger a meditation about day-to-day developments between two social groups apparently equals, but with cultural differences, in order to expose that the presence of ethnic and cultural minorities in contemporary societies requires actions to promote interculturality, since no culture is superior to another in terms of its origin.
