Las escuelas de la inmigración en la ciudad de Santiago: Elementos para una educación contra el racismo

Abstract

Public schools in segregated neighbor hoods of Santiago are being emptied of chilean students whose parents relocate in other schools, but thanks to the arrival of immigrant children, schools manage to continue operating. They are schools located downtown, in sectors that account for the abandon of the state and the agony of paved streets and noble mansions, now converted into budget accommodation for immigrants. In this scenario, children of immigration become secondary players, but because of the crisis are finally protagonists of the survival of the educational institution. Use ful children that allow continuity of schools while they are mistreated by their origin. The purpose of this article is to describe everyday racism experienced by Peruvian immigrant children based on the speech that adults of the educational community that welcomes them display. How are they characterize, how are they evaluated? Is the foreignness inherited from their parents, the frontier that prevents the irintegration?
