The aim of this study is to analyze the la formation of teaching identities among Nahua and Teenek at a bilingual intercultural teacher training college (Spanish acronym EIB) in Mexico%27s Huasteca Potosina region. Identity was problematized around nation and culture as colonial constructs which emerge from neoliberal structural discourse in interpellation with students%27 reflexivity. We assume that the processes of identity-building, in the case analyzed, occur in the tensions between the level of structural education policies of the neoliberal state and the reflexivity of indigenous students. The research uses a qualitative methodology based on document and ethnographic analysis. We found that the mediational processes of identification which developing students construct are heterogeneous and in tension: they assume significant references in neoliberal educational structural policies which are oriented toward a hegemonic cosmopolitan population, and redefine the meaning of their own communal values as a people. © 2019, Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico.
