Download or read book Immigrant Entrepreneurship in Cities written by Cathy Yang Liu and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-08-01 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book draws on evidence from global cities around the world and explores various dimensions of immigrant entrepreneurship and urban development. It provides a substantive contribution to the existing literature in several ways. First of all, it pursues a comparative approach, with case studies from both the global north and global south, so as to broaden the theoretical framework in this area especially as pertinent to emerging economies. Second, it covers multiple scales, from local community place-making, to urban contexts of reception, to transnational networks and connections. Third, it combines approaches and research methods from numerous disciplines, investigating entry dynamics, trends and patterns, business performance, challenges, and the impact of immigrant entrepreneurship in urban areas. Finally, it pays particular attention to current international experiences regarding urban policies on immigrant entrepreneurship. Given its scope, the book will be an enlightening read for anyone interested in immigration, entrepreneurship and urban development issues around the globe. As global cities around the world continue to attract both domestic migrants and international migrants to their bustling metropolises, immigrant entrepreneurship is emerging as an important urban phenomenon that calls for careful examination. From Chinatown in New York, to Silicon Valley in San Francisco, to Little Africa in Guangzhou, immigrant-owned businesses are not only changing the business landscape in their host communities, but also transforming the spatial, economic, social, and cultural dynamics of cities and regions.

Download or read book Cosmopolitan Place Making in Australia written by Jock Collins and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-10-23 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at the historical and contemporary impact of minority immigrant and ethnic communities on the built and social environment in Australian cities, rural and regional areas. The emphasis is on the changing social use of these buildings – places of worship, ethnic clubs and community associations, immigrant restaurants and retail outlets, museums, memorials and landmarks and other places and spaces created by immigrant communities – rather than on their architectural merit. These places and spaces are sites of bridging and bonding social capital, of social interaction between immigrant communities and their local communities. In both the Australian cities and the ‘bush’ (an Australian colloquial term for non-metropolitan dwellers), the book investigates how the places built and used by minority ethnic communities have transformed Australian life in complex and sometimes contradictory ways. In Sydney, Brisbane and Perth, the book investigates the historical development of Chinatowns and their contemporary dynamics.
Download or read book The Rural Migration Nexus written by Nathan Kerrigan and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-03-11 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection aims to examine the global-rural relationship of migration that shapes rural places. It does this by acknowledging that to understand the impact of the international migration-global nexus, it is essential to explore how it is experienced at a local level - in the context of this book, rural regions. Focusing on agribusiness and rural development, as well as the othering of international migrants and the shifting boundaries of belonging in rural spaces, the chapters in this book examine how globalisation, with migration being a constitutive feature, influences different rural contexts in the ‘Global North’ and the impact this has on migrant populations. Chapters demonstrate the harsh lived experiences/realities characterised by mental health issues and emotional labour for migrants, occupational health and safety issues in the workplace and experiences of exclusion and racism from ‘host’ communities. These chapters taken together identify a rural-migration nexus where the relationship between international migration and localised rural spaces are mutually constitutive.
Download or read book Asian Migration and Education Cultures in the Anglosphere written by Megan Watkins and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-27 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asian migration and mobilities are transforming education cultures in the Anglosphere, prompting mounting debates about ‘tiger mothers’ and ‘dragon children’, and competition and segregation in Anglosphere schools. This book challenges the cultural essentialism which prevails in much academic and popular discussion of ‘Asian success’ and in relation to Asian education mobilities. As anxiety and aspiration within these spaces are increasingly ethnicised, the children of Asian migrants are both admired and resented for their educational success. This book explores popular perceptions of Asian migrant families through in-depth empirically informed accounts on the broader economic, social, historical and geo-political contexts within which education cultures are produced. This includes contributions from academics on global markets and national policies around migration and education, classed trajectories and articulations, local formations of ‘ethnic capital’, and transnational assemblages that produce education and mobility as means for social advancement. At a time when our schooling systems and communities are undergoing rapid transformations as a result of increasing global mobility, this book is a unique and important contribution to an issue of pressing significance. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies.

Download or read book Global Migration beyond Limits written by Franklin Obeng-Odoom and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-12-09 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global Migration beyond Limits takes a critical approach to mainstream economic accounts of migration, environment, and inequality. Drawing on a range of case studies from Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Australia, Europe, and the Americas, Obeng-Odoom argues that much of the crisis of migration can be understood as a reflection of cumulative stratification at different scales in the global system, though the form of migration is conditioned by more than economic forces. Examining the experiences of migrant farmers, street workers, refugees, international students, and many more, this book shows that the so-called migration crisis is an expression of a political-economic system in which socially created value is privately appropriated as rents by a privileged few who use institutions such as land and property rights, race, ethnicity, class, and gender to keep others in their place.

Download or read book The Korean American Dream written by Kyeyoung Park and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-09-05 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Korean immigrants to the United States establish their own small businesses at a rate exceeding that of immigrants from any other nation, with more than one third of all Korean immigrant adults involved in small businesses. Kyeyoung Park examines this phenomenon in Queens, New York, tracing its historical bases and exploring the transformation of Korean cultural identity prompted by participation in an enterprise. Park documents the ways in which Korean immigrants use entrepreneurship to improve the quality of their lives, focusing on their concerns and anxieties, as well as their joys. The concept of "anjong" is crucial to the lives of first-generation Korean Americans in Queens, Park explains. The word may be translated as "establishment," "stability," or "security," and it identifies a particular concept of success through which Koreans make sense of the American ideology of opportunity. What they seek is not great wealth or social position but rather the creation of their own small businesses as a way of realizing the American dream. The pursuit of "anjong" is important enough to justify changes in gender and kinship relations, resulting in the rise of a Korean American women-centered and sister-initiated kinship structure. Commitment to the concept has also inspired a different understanding of class, ethnicity, and race, and stimulated new religious ideas and practices.

Download or read book Landscapes of the Ethnic Economy written by David H. Kaplan and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2006-10-26 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immigration has expanded dramatically in both traditional and emerging receiving nations. This worldwide boom has profoundly altered urban areas as new arrivals have transformed inner cities and suburbs alike into bastions of new ethnic economic activity. Examining the essential role of space in assisting and modifying ethnic business activity, this book considers how ethnic economies are reshaping the urban landscape in the United States, Britain, Australia, Canada, Germany, and Italy. Each chapter explores the significance of urban space and local context in the development of an ethnic economy and how, in turn, ethnic economies have helped to recreate urban neighborhoods. With its international scope and rich case studies, this book will be invaluable for scholars and students alike in the fields of ethnic studies, urban studies, economic development, geography, and sociology.
Download or read book Korean Immigrant Entrepreneurs in Inner city Minority Neighborhoods written by Wook-Jin Kim and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study takes a community development perspective to investigate immigrant entrepreneurship in inner-city minority neighborhoods. More specifically, it examines the relationship between resource utilization and departure from inner-city minority neighborhoods from the perspective of market segmentation theory and its variant in the immigration literature. The purpose of the research is to explore how differences in resource utilization under different market conditions produce contrasting location patterns among immigrant businesses. Three strands of literature have relevance to the present inquiry: (1) literature on inner-city business development; (2) literature on ethnic enclave economies; and (3) literature on the resource utilization of immigrant businesses. According to the literature review, two variables that can explain a firm's location pattern have emerged: types of resources (i.e., ethnic and class resources) and types of market surrounding a firm (i.e., primary market, secondary market, and ethnic enclave economy). The study's three hypotheses seek to adjudicate between the competing explanations of immigrant firm location in, and departure from, inner-city minority neighborhoods put forth in these literatures: (H1) The greater the reliance on class resources, the more likely the business owner leaves inner-city minority neighborhoods; (H2) The greater the reliance on class resources, the more likely the business owner stays in inner-city minority neighborhoods; and (H3) Given an ethnic enclave on the outside and the greater the reliance on ethnic resources, the more likely the business owner leaves inner-city minority neighborhoods. Data for the hypothesis testing come from a survey of 132 Korean immigrant business owners in the Chicago area. Results of data analysis reveal that the greater the reliance on class resources, the more likely a business owner is to stay in inner-city minority neighborhoods and the less likely s/he is to leave those areas. This supports H2 but not H1. Results also reveal that although an ethnic enclave does not exist on the outside, as long as substitutes for an ethnic enclave in the larger ethnic economy can serve as an inducement, the more likely a business owner who more greatly relies upon ethnic resources is to leave inner-city minority neighborhoods. H3 is therefore partially supported. Evidence in support of H2 and against H1 suggests that immigrant-owned inner-city firms are growing into large, highly profitable, and advanced-stage firms that primarily utilize class resources and have the competitiveness to survive in the primary market. In contrast, evidence in support of H3 suggests that small, inexperienced, and less-advanced firms that lack such resources are being forced into markets outside of inner-city areas, where a heavy reliance on ethnic resources is better rewarded, such as enclave economies or protected niche markets wherein coethnic owners have carved out and established ethnic business niches. In terms of public policy, the finding has several important implications for economic development and advocacy planners who are concerned with revitalizing the inner-city economy through the development of locally based small businesses. Most importantly, programs and policies that help small business owners acquire class resources through ongoing entrepreneurial training, lending and technical support should be given priority and carried out on a larger scale.
Download or read book Chinatown Unbound written by Kay Anderson and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-01-25 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Chinatowns’ are familiar places in almost all major cities in the world. In popular Western wisdom, the restaurants, pagodas, and red lanterns are intrinsically equated with a self-contained, immigrant Chinese district, an alien enclave of ‘the East’ in ‘the West’. By the 1980s, when these Western societies had largely given up their racially discriminatory immigration policies and opened up to Asian immigration, the dominant conception of Chinatown was no longer that of an abject ethnic ghetto: rather, Chinatown was now seen as a positive expression of multicultural heritage and difference. By the early 21st century, however, these spatial and cultural constructions of Chinatown as an ‘other’ space – whether negative or positive – have been thoroughly destabilised by the impacts of accelerating globalisation and transnational migration. This book provides a timely and much-needed paradigm shift in this regard, through an in-depth case study of Sydney’s Chinatown. It speaks to the growing multilateral connections that link Australia and Asia (and especially China) together; not just economically, but also socially and culturally, as a consequence of increasing transnational flows of people, money, ideas and things. Further, the book elicits a particular sense of a place in Sydney’s Chinatown: that of an interconnected world in which Western and Asian realms inhabit each other, and in which the orientalist legacy is being reconfigured in new deployments and more complex delimitations. As such, Chinatown Unbound engages with, and contributes to making sense of, the epochal shift in the global balance of power towards Asia, especially China.
