Abstract

CRUZ RODRIGUEZ, Edwin. CULTURAL JUSTICE AND PUBLIC POLICY: THE AFFIRMATIVE ACTION TO CROSS-CULTURAL POLICY (A NORMATIVE PROPOSAL FOR THE CASE OF ETHNIC GROUPS). Vniversitas [online]. 2013, n.127, pp.91-125. ISSN 0041-9060.

This reflection paper bases the differences between affirmative action and intercultural policies. First, it presents an hermeneutical framework that reconstructs the multicultural approach of Kymlicka and Latin American interculturalism. Secondly, and based on that framework, it establishes the differences between affirmative action and intercultural policies. The central idea is that affirmative action is necessary, but not sufficient to achieve the ideal of interculturalism: dialogue, respect, coexistence and mutual learning between cultures.

Keywords : Multiculturalism; interculturalism; ethnic groups; affirmative action; intercultural policies; Multiculturalism; ethnic groups; cultural policy; ethnicity; Latin America.
