 | The Making of Indigeneity, Curriculum History, and the Limits of Diversity Subjects: Area Studies; Education; Social Sciences; Latin American & Hispanic Studies; History of Education; International & Comparative Education; Multicultural Education; Sociology of Education; Education Policy & Politics; Anthropology - Soc Sci; Indigenous Peoples; Education Policy; Conceptually rich and grounded in cutting-edge research, this book addresses the often-overlooked roles and implications of diversity and indigeneity in curriculum. Taking a multidisciplinary approach to the development of teacher education in Guatemala, López provides a historical and transnational understanding of how "indigenous" has been negotiated as a subject/object of scientific inquiry in education. Moving beyond the generally accepted "common sense" markers of diversity such as race, gender, and ethnicity, López focuses on the often-ignored histories behind the development of these markers, and the crucial implications these histories have in education - in Guatemala and beyond - today.
