Cultura y migraciones: una aproximación a la percepción y valoración de la diversidad cultural en España

Abstract

Following mainly the surveys carried out by the Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas (2006-2017), we will analyze how Spaniards perceive the cultural diversity resulting from immigration (is it positive? To what extent?). As we shall see, the Spanish public opinion generally considers that migrants enrich culture, although with some limitations that correct the usual more positive views. This is probably due to the use of a superficial concept of culture (and, therefore, cultural diversity) that focuses on non-problematic items as music, food and the like.
