Abstract

maintain balance at all levels in this area is a unique experience and deserves to be thoroughly studied. This research contributes to understanding the phenomenon of Azerbaijan, its unique experience – the preservation of national identity in the era of globalization. The article considers the creativity of a number of Azerbaijani writers. In their works, these writers interpret multiculturalism in their own way. Literature on the multicultural problem today does not consist of a single movement, direction, or even groups of authors. The authors do not have a formed aesthetics, but we can talk about the emergence of some aesthetic constants, a system of artistic techniques that can be considered in the direction of multiculturalism. Multiculturalism is an organic part of the history of mankind, covering various spheres of society. The parallel existence of cultures on the basis of equality presupposes both ethno-national and confessional relations in society. The influence of multiculturalism is equally felt not only in the XXI century, but also during the period of relative stability and social crises in the development of societies.
