Main Article Content
Abstract
(analytical)
The objective of this meta-ethnographic synthesis study is to identify the elements that influence the configuration of the identities of young people belonging to indigenous communities. Subjects and Method: Qualitative primary studies on the configuration of cultural identities of young indigenous were reviewed with the criteria of articles published in Scopus, WoS and Scielo databases, between 2010 and 2021. Procedures: systematic search and qualitative meta-synthesis. Results: 17 articles were reviewed that refer to the following aspects involved in identity configuration: 1) Migration; 2) Dynamics of power and discrimination; 3) Epistemological tensions; 4) Self-identity management; 5) Identity conflicts; 6) Resistance, and 7) Recreation of identity/diasporas. The review indicates that young people carry a heterogeneity of cultural worlds that they project in a creative and indeterminate way depending on their possibilities and development.
Keywords: Literature reviews; meta-analysis; indigenous populations; youth; identity.
