THE LINGUISTIC DISPLACEMENT OF THE CHUJ AS A CONSEQUENCE OF DISCRIMINATORY EDUCATIONAL POLICIES

Abstract

This work is a reflection on the accelerated linguistic displacement that exists in two chuje communities: San Lorenzo and Nuevo Porvenir, located in the border municipality of La Trinitaria, Chiapas. My interest is to reflect on the social and institutional context that generates discrimination towards the Chuj population. We reflect on the urgency of implementing teaching models that strengthen cultural identity, and that generate collective knowledge from the ontological perspective chuj called junk'olal.
