The article deals with the analysis of the multicultural hybridization category in the work of Néstor García Canclini, its contribution and significance. Today identities are rethought from hybridization processes as a new anthropological trend for science. The general objective of this work is to analyze how the category of multicultural hybridization in the work of the cited author not only closes the claim to establish "pure" or "authentic" identities, but is also understood as sociocultural processes in which discrete structures or practices, which existed separately, are combined to generate new structures, objects and practices. The research was approached under the qualitative approach and the most used method was content analysis. The results obtained were achieved thanks to the interpretation of the information obtained in the consulted texts. This work allowed us to conclude that the risk of delimiting self-contained local identities is evident. Today, in such an interconnected world, identity sediments are restructured in the midst of interethnic, transclass and transnational groups, which poses a challenge for the interpretation of the region from the Social Sciences in general.
