La educac ión indígena en México Indigenous Schooling in Mexico Elisa Ramírez Castañeda “Reading the history of indigenous schooling is to read the history of ideology, the anthropologic currents and the political expectations of our nation” Elisa Ramírez Castaneda • A review on the failed efforts and the unfinished business on the subject of inclusion and democratic schooling. • A most necessary reading for every researcher, student, teacher or responsible in the decision making progress on the subject of indigenous cultures. This book proposes the discussion of key elements on the subject of indigenous schooling, written with a full sensibility and comprehension by the author. The great challenge consists in articulating a dichotomy that crosses our history: unifying or diversifying when we are schooling every sector of the population in every region of the country.
