Abstract
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.
