Book excerpt: The Gómez family immigrated to the United States from Mexico during the 1920s. By 1937 the family was running three successful businesses on Washington Avenue in Houston’s Sixth Ward: a tortilla factory, a café, and a Mexican curio store. All three establishments remained open for over three decades, closing in the late 1960s. The Gómez family story provides a case study in ethnic Mexican entrepreneurship in Houston in the early twentieth century. The family’s middle-class status, their location in a multi-ethnic neighborhood, and the success of their three businesses make the family unique and broadens our understanding of opportunities for social mobility for Mexicans in Houston, the experience of Mexicans living outside of the Mexican barrio, and the impact of Mexican business in Houston. This thesis makes extensive use of the Melesio Gómez Family Collection at the Houston Metropolitan Research Center (HMRC). The collection also includes recorded oral history interviews with the Gómez family’s middle daughter Estella Reyes, conducted by HMRC in the 1970s. Her voice is used throughout this thesis along with an array of primary and secondary sources from the collection to present the little known history of this family and its role in Houston’s Hispanic history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on settlement patterns among Houston's Korean immigrants, this study examines in ethnographic detail the mutually beneficial relationship between the Korean business community and church groups. It explore historical background and social and demographic characteristics of the group to provide a broader context in explaining their entrepreneurial and religious behaviors. The study shows that economic and social changes during and after the oil boom in Houston had a direct effect on the emergence of the Korean business community. Churches with a highly developed structural linkage through cell group ministry also facilitate business contacts among parishioners. Embracing a majority of Korean community members as parishioners, the churches perform social functions that are indispensable to the Korean immigrants.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many entrepreneurs, the American Dream remains only partially fulfilled. 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.
Download or read book Hispanic Entrepreneurs in the 2000s written by Alberto Dávila and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2013-10-16 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hispanics account for more than half the population growth in the United States over the last decade. With this surge has come a dramatic spike in the number of Hispanic-owned businesses. Hispanic Entrepreneurs in the 2000s is a pioneering study of this nascent demographic. Drawing on rich quantitative data, authors Alberto Dávila and Marie T. Mora examine key economic issues facing Hispanic entrepreneurs, such as access to financial capital and the adoption and vitality of digital technology. They analyze the varying effects that these factors have on subsets of the Hispanic community, such as Mexican Americans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, and Salvadorans, while considering gender and immigrant status. This account highlights key policies to drive the success of Hispanic entrepreneurs, while drawing out strategies that entrepreneurs can use in order to cultivate their businesses. Far-reaching and nuanced, Hispanic Entrepreneurs in the 2000s is an important study of a population that is quickly becoming a vital component of American job creation.

Download or read book Del Pueblo written by Thomas H. Kreneck and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2012-02-13 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though relatively small in number until the latter decades of the nineteenth century, Houston'sHispanic population possesses a rich and varied history that has previously not been readily associated in the popular imagination with Houston. However, in 1989, the first edition of Thomas H. Kreneck’s Del Pueblo vividly captured the depth and breadth of Houston’s Hispanic people, illustrating both the obstacles and the triumphs that characterized this vital community’s rise to prominence during the twentieth century. This new, revised edition of Del Pueblo: A History of Houston’s Hispanic Community updates that vibrant history, incorporating research on trends and changes through the beginning of the new millennium. Especially important in this new edition are Kreneck’s historical contextualization of the 1980s as the “Decade of the Hispanic” and his documentation of other significant developments taking place since the publication of the original edition. Illustrated with seventy-five photographs of significant people, places, and events, this new edition of Del Pueblo: A History of Houston’s Hispanic Community updates the unfolding story of one of the nation’s most influential and dynamic ethnic groups. Students and scholars of Mexican American and Hispanic issues and culture, as well as general readers interested in this important aspect of Houston and regional history, will not want to be without this important book.
