Abstract

The article analyzes the Warisata School-Ayllu (1931-1940) in Bolivia, focusing on the agency of indigenous children and youth. It investigates how "adobe pedagogy" and the Amauta Parliament broke with the colonial model of education, promoting youth leadership in the resistance against servitude. The research uses historiographical sources to discuss childhood as a political subject and the school as a center for community sovereignty and ethnic resistance in the Andean context.
