Their survey of shopkeepers in twenty immigrant neighborhoods demonstrates that even slightly less impoverished, multiethnic communities offer better business opportunities than do the highly impoverished, racially segregated Mexican neighborhoods of Los Angeles. Their findings reveal previously overlooked aspects of microclass, as well as “legal capital” advantages. The authors argue that even poor Mexican immigrants whose class backgrounds in Mexico imparted an entrepreneurial disposition can achieve a modicum of business success in the right (U.S.) neighborhood context, and the more quickly they build legal capital, the better their outcomes. While the authors show that the local place characteristics of neighborhoods both reflect and reproduce class and racial inequalities, they also demonstrate that the diversity of experience among Mexican immigrants living within the spatial boundaries of these communities can contribute to economic mobility.. | | 出版日期 | Book 2018 | | 关键词 | Entrepreneurship; Small business; emmigration; immigration; Mexican-American; stratification; Neighborhood | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-73715-7 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-08841-5 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-73715-7 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2018 |
