description Throughout our history there have always been communities with cultural differences in our country. We have never before, however, experienced such a fast and massive multicultural phenomenon as there is in our current historical period, which has resulted in the emergence of highly significant xenophobic and racist attitudes and episodes. This article analyses, therefore, the fundamental concepts that seem to explain this situation, such as culture, identity and racism, and highlights how globalisation processes should allow us to understand different cultures. Similarly, we argue that cultural identity should be included within a constellation of self-identities and not be seen as an ethnocentric shelter. Finally, we emphasise the importance of intercultural education, such as citizenship education, education for inclusion and citizen participation.
