Two related intentions motivate the writing of this book. The first intention constitutes a critical investigation into important questions regarding everyday intercultural recognition and misrecognition in the context of paid work, using as theoretical foundation the recognition model developed by German social and political philosopher Axel Honneth. In pursuing this cross-cultural inquiry through a recognition lens, the book fulfils a second purpose in that it provides a largely positive assessment regarding the productivity and value of Honneth's approach in cross-cultural scholarship. Through the application of recognition theory in a study of intercultural phenomena, the book addresses deficits related to these two intentions in the multiculturalism and recognition fields.
