The empirical findings concerning cross-cultural experience in the workplace, on which this book reports, were sourced using an everyday multiculturalism research approach. The previous two chapters have included discussions regarding the means by which recognition theory presents a more sophisticated approach to some of the shortcomings of classical multiculturalism. This chapter will focus on the fit between everyday multiculturalism, which itself developed in response to some of the perspectives typically assumed in mainstream multiculturalism, and Honneth's model. Chapter  target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-64194-2_3">3 thus begins with a brief introduction to everyday multiculturalism, and follows that with a longer section regarding the significant commonalities of perspective between it and recognition theory. The third section of the chapter provides a discussion of the book's methodological grounding in these compatibilities, including the specifics of the ethnographic research methods and important questions related to epistemology, ontology and representation.
