Los “otros” retornados. Invisibilidad y exclusión en el sistema educativo mexicano: aportes etnográficos desde Oaxaca

Abstract

The current diaspora returning from the United States to Mexico is made up of a significant number of Mexican children of school age. However, although a carrier of new and different educational needs, this childhood is subjected to strong processes of invisibility and exclusion in the Mexican educational system. The objective of this work is to analyze how these processes are concatenated in the schools of the State of Oaxaca and what repercussions it has on these children. For this, a qualitative methodology has been developed that has contemplated an anthropological field work in which different ethnographic data collection techniques have been used. The main findings point to the existence of invisibility processes of returned children in the macro, meso and micro structures of the educational system that, correspondingly, cause their exclusion in the same structures.
