Description
Summary:This book conducts a critical investigation into everyday intercultural recognition and misrecognition in the domain of paid work, utilising social philosopher Axel Honneth's recognition theory as its theoretical foundation. In so doing, it also reveals the sophistication and productivity of Honneth's recognition model for multiculturalism scholarship. O'Honneth and Everyday Intercultural (Mis)Recognition is concerned with the redress of intercultural related injustice and, more widely, the effective integration of ethically and culturally diverse societies. Bona Anna analyzes the everyday experiences of cross-cultural misrecognition in a distinctive ethno-cultural group, including social norms that have been marginalized in the contexts of employment. In this endeavor, she deploys key constructs from Honneth's theory to argue for individual and social integration to be conceptualized as a process of inclusion through stables forms of recognition, rather than as a process of inclusion through forms of group representation and participation.
