JEAN-BAPTISTE, PASCAL. Latin American Multiculturalism. Sketch of the Stakes of a Legal, Political and Ideological "Construct". Rev. Derecho Estado [online]. 2022, n.53, pp.279-316.  Epub Jan 15, 2023. ISSN 0122-9893.  https://doi.org/10.18601/01229893.n53.10.

Through an ecumenical notion such as "multiculturalism", where different policies concerning different issues have been brought together, the recent Latin American experience is avant-garde in at least two aspects. On the one hand, in response to the need to go beyond the classic Nation-State foundation, Latin American States are attempting, in the name of greater equity and equality, multicultural, multi-ethnic and plurinational "gnosis" of the State.

Keywords : Multiculturalism; Latin American multiculturalism; ordinary multiculturalism; radical multiculturalism; decoloniality; unfinished decoloniality; multiethnic; plurinational; universalism; relativism; rights; politics of recognition; social justice.
