2023, 1 IDENTITY, INTERCULTURALITY AND GLOBALIZATION Being Peruvian in a globalized world

Abstract

In the contemporary era, where physical borders are blurred and global connections are multiplying, reflection on identity and interculturality acquires unprecedented relevance. "Identity, Interculturality and Globalization," dives into the complexity of Peruvian identity in an increasingly interconnected world. The Crossroads of Globalization; In the twenty-first century, globalization stands as a pervasive phenomenon, transcending geographical boundaries and merging cultures. However, this interconnectedness does not dilute the uniqueness of identities; rather, it raises the crucial question of how national identities, such as Peru's, navigate this global crossroads. The richness of Peru's interculturality, with its vast ethnic, cultural and geographical diversity, stands as a fascinating microcosm. Interculturality, rooted in the coexistence of diverse ethnicities and traditions, proves to be an inexhaustible source of wealth. Interculturality enriches Peruvian identity, turning it into a vibrant tapestry of shared experiences. In a globalized world, the preservation of cultural authenticity becomes a crucial challenge. How can you be Peruvian in a global context without losing the essence of what it means to be Peruvian? The Peruvian diaspora, scattered across the four corners of the globe, adds another layer to the exploration of identity. How is Peruvian’s lived and maintained in different contexts and cultural realities? Keywords: Identity, globalization, Peruvian’s, diaspora, interculturality, migrations, immigrants.
