Description / Abstract
The main idea of the article is to present the multiculturality of Polish society. The problem is analysed from three angles. First concerns the cultural differences within societies from the perspective of so called “old† and “new† diversities. Second shows social awareness and attitudes to diversity among Poles. Third touches upon the problems of state ideologies and discourses about multiculturalism (Mucha 1999). Some of the phenomena observed in Poland are similar to those seen in other European countries, including the problem of Islamophobia. However, certain aspects result from the specific cultural composition of Polish society, determined by its specific distant and recent history, which compared with other societies, can be called culturally homogenous.
