Resumen

Numerosos estudios alrededor del mundo han mostrado cómo la segmentación y segregación social y espacial en ciudades definen “geografías” de escolarización en contextos urbanos. Este artículo explora las articulaciones entre el barrio, la escuela y la comunidad en contexto de conflicto comunal[i]  en India, y se basa en avances de un estudio en dos escuelas que atienden a niños musulmanes en una ciudad localizada del oeste de India. El artículo presenta algunas reflexiones acerca de cómo lo local media entre las estructuras y el sistema de escolarización en estos espacios estigmatizados de la ciudad, construyendo el nexo entre la comunidad musulmana y la educación de sus hijos en contexto de marginalización por parte del Estado.

 

[i]Conflicto comunitario refiere en el contexto de la India, un país multirreligioso y multicultural, con una población de mayoría hindú, a la tensión social y la violencia basada en orígenes religiosos. Los incidentes de conflicto generalmente se asocian con enfrentamientos entre hindúes y musulmanes.
