Abstract
In the introduction, the author explains why it is important to reconsider the way interculturality is used in education today. He explains that the notion can mean too much or too little and that it tends to be polysemic. It is thus urgent to give some new meanings to interculturality in order to make it richer and more realistic. With the scene set, the approach of the book is introduced.
