This chapter, and the two following chapters that constitute Part II, represent the empirical heart of this book. It is here that we meet real people, specifically Pacific Islanders encountered during research, and hear from them regarding their experiences of intercultural recognition and misrecognition at work. This chapter addresses cross-cultural (mis)recognition at work as it is shaped by the identification of "who one is", specifically "who one is racially and ethnically". In particular, it examines marginalisation based on negative assessment of Pacifica workers' ethnic and racial identities, and its significations in specific instances, to contribute a critique of ethno-racial misrecognition in intercultural workplace relations. Elaborated below, the critical analysis of "who one is at work" is anchored in Honneth's second and third critical conceptions, and thus esteem recognition in relation to the norms of achievement and contribution in the domain of paid employment.
