Summary: | This paper explores the many meanings associated with the concept of interculturalidad and their application in the case of the Universidades Interculturales established by the Mexican government since 2000. On the basis of interviews carried out in several Universidades Interculturales in the period 2006-2010, and of much background information, the analysis shows that the practice of the universities is inspired as much by the popular education tradition of Paulo Freire and others as by interculturalidad, and that they can be seen as a type of affirmative action as much as a venture in multiculturalism. |
