Abstract

Multiculturalism, as a political project, has captured much attention in the recent decades. Multicultural education, in particular, has been often viewed as the ideal way to facilitate interactions between cultures and society. But it has also been involved in much controversy. We start this article by reviewing some of the debates around the multicultural paradigm. We will then turn out attention to the Portuguese case. In particular we will explore the way the view of the Portuguese history and culture as a humanist, universalist and non-racist one, has influenced the way the education system deals with the growing cultural diversity in the Portuguese society.
