WHY DOES THE NEW GENERATION NEED ENGAGEMENT IN SPREADING INTERCULTURALITY INSTEAD OF ANNOUNCING THE DEATH OF MULTICULTURALISM?

Summary/Abstract: In the world today, under the banner of "multiculturalism is dead", a new specter of ethnocentrism is being cycled. Its protagonists are the old and the new right and the autocratic elites who would like to divide and fight the world anew.
