Unequal outcomes between the middle and lower classes, men and women, and Latino\/as, whites, and blacks highlight continuing inequalities and constraints within American society. With a focus on a diverse group of Latino entrepreneurs, this book explores how class, gender, race, and ethnicity all shape Latino entrepreneurs' capacity to succeed in business in the United States. Bringing intersectionality into conversation with theories of ethnic entrepreneurship, Zulema Valdez considers how various factors create, maintain, and transform the social and economic lives of Latino entrepreneurs. While certain group identities may impose unequal, if not discriminatory, starting positions, membership in these same social groups can provide opportunities to mobilize resources together. Valdez reveals how Latino entrepreneurs--as members of oppressed groups on the one hand, yet rugged individualists striving for the American Dream on the other--work to recreate their own positions within American society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Zulema Valdez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/17\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.99h x 6.64w x 0.63d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804773218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2011 pg. 84\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eZulema Valdez is Assistant Professor of Sociology at Texas A\u0026amp;M University.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40473684377715,"sku":"9.7808E+12","price":43.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_7c036562-86c0-46a0-8387-3fab613c4028.jpg?v=1664373225","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/the-new-entrepreneurs-how-race-class-and-gender-shape-american-enterprise-9780804773218","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
