Intersectionality And Ethnic Entrepreneurship by Zulema Valdez, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

Intersectionality and Ethnic Entrepreneurshipbrings together a group of eminent and up-and-coming young scholars who apply an intersectional perspective to the study of ethnic entrepreneurship. Against the traditional approach's emphasis on ethnicity and its primacy, which tends to conflate ethnicity with other social groupings (i. e., social class), considers their effect as an additive or secondary consequence only (i. e., gender), or ignores their influence altogether (i. e., race), the studies in this volume recognize that multiple dimensions of identity intermix to condition entrepreneurial outcomes. Starting with the premise that systems of oppression and privilege, specifically capitalism, patriarchy, and white supremacy, are endemic to the American social structure, the works in this volume recognize that these interlocking systems of inequality condition the life chances of entrepreneurs from diverse social locations differently, even among members of the same ethnic group. This book was originally published as a special issue ofEthnic and Racial Studies. | Intersectionality And Ethnic Entrepreneurship by Zulema Valdez, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
