Discriminación en el marco legal del derecho a la salud con enfoque intercultural en México: una aproximación crítica

Abstract

Ethnic discrimination is not a matter of the past, continues to be present not only in practice but also in the discourses. Generally it is thought that the laws are fair and non-discriminatory, such as the fundamental principles of human rights. However here it is argued that these laws are made by dominant groups, it is possible to identify racist and multiculturalist discourses, despite the recognition of interculturality in the multiethnic and multicultural countries. This paper presents an aproximation to the critical analysis of the legal framework of the right to health in Mexico, focused specifically on indigenous peoples.
