Abstract
This book began by setting out two related intentions. The first of these was to empirically investigate important questions regarding intercultural recognition and misrecognition in the domain of paid work, specifically taking Honneth’s recognition route rather than a more conventional multiculturalism-oriented approach. In pursuing this cross-cultural inquiry through a recognition lens, the book’s second intention was to demonstrate the viability and value of Honneth’s theory in cross-cultural scholarship. The book thus aims to address deficits in the multiculturalism and recognition arenas, in that there are few applications of the recognition model in the study of cross-cultural phenomena. The first section in this final chapter of the book thus provides a summary of and conclusion to the empirical exploration of (mis)recognition as it is experienced by Pacific Islanders at work in Australia, while the second section addresses the question of the suitability of recognition theory for empirical investigations of this kind. A third section will suggest some avenues for further research that might build on the offerings of this book.
