[1] Originally presented as a plenary lecture at the Latin American Forum on Interculturality, Citizenship, and Education organised by Foro Latinoamericano de Políticas Educativas (FLAPE, Latin American Forum on Educational Policy) in 2004 in Cuetzalán, Mexico and published in Cuadernos interculturales, Año 3, July–December 2005, 83–96. Translated and published with the Permission of Cuadernos Interculturales. Translation by John H. Sinnigen.

[3] I have taken the concept of the difference between the logic of what is institutionalised and the proposals of the social imagination from Castoriades (1999).

[4] At the most general level, the term indicates a concern for indigenous cultures. In this article, it refers to white-mestizo concepts and practices that have traditionally treated indigenous cultures in a folkloric fashion and do not address issues of racism [This is a note added by John H. Sinnigen].
