  • Multiculturalism and the Multicultural in Ancient Egypt: a preliminary assessment Christian Langer Historia Migration Egyptian foreign relations Historiography and museum displays Public policy in premodern societies Transborder mobility and integration This paper scrutinizes the characterization of ancient Egyptian society as multicultural and the related use of the concept and terminology of multiculturalism in research and public communications on ancient Egyptian society. An initial outline of the concept of multiculturalism sets the stage for a review of its application in specialist literature. It may seem sensible to ascribe multiculturalism or a multicultural reality to Egypt, given its history of migrations. It becomes apparent that a comprehensive theorization of multiculturalism is yet to occur with respect to ancient Egypt. This affects scholarly assessments and perceptions of historical transborder mobility and social integration. 2022 artículo científico 1415-8701 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=672072122003 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6720/672072122003/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6720/672072122003/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6720/672072122003/672072122003.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6720/672072122003/movil https://doi.org/10.36661/2238-9717.2022n40.13022 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=6720 Fronteiras: Revista Catarinense de História application/pdf Universidade Federal da Fronteira Sul Fronteiras: Revista Catarinense de História (Brasil) Num.40
