O Que o governo mexicano destina aos indígenas locais?: análise discursiva das políticas públicas voltadas às sociedades indígenas

Abstract

This essay seeks to bring the contextualization of the indigenous discussion in Mexico, having as a parameter the difficulties with the surrounding society relating them to the country’s terrible colonial past. The work overflows the reports produced by the official Mexican discourse, and brings up issues that are related to public policies, as well as new perceptions and concepts of well-being that do not necessarily depart from the State. Describing the other Mexicans, indigenous or otherwise, is in this case an exercise of relativizing, according to Roberto da Matta, in other words, embracing the otherness of the other to also perceive how familiar the exotic can get and how exotic what is familiar can be. (DaMatta, 2010).
