Book excerpt: One of the most under-appreciated consequences of the transition from apartheid to non-racial democracy in South Africa is the unprecedented rise in the number and relative economic and political power of black entrepreneurs in various sectors of the economy from which they were previously excluded by over 800 laws and by social conventions. This change is occurring probably faster than was the case for previously excluded populations in the United States, Brazil, Malaysia, and certainly in Namibia, Zimbabwe and even several other non-settler African countries at comparable periods in their post-liberation experiences. This runs counter to the deafening but short-sighted claims that black business development or "black economic empowerment" (BEE) specifically, has benefited a few politically-connected "fat cats." Along with about 400,000 new black entrants into the salaried middle classes each year, black entrepreneurs are darkening the face of South Africa's economy, even though wealth is still disproportionately concentrated in the hands of the 9 percent white minority. Yet, a balanced and long-term view of these transformations suggests that the rise of black enterprise into the economic mainstream will have tremendous implications for black political struggles and for South Africa's democracy overall.

Book The History of Black Business in America

Download or read book The History of Black Business in America written by Juliet E. K. Walker and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2009 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this wide-ranging study Stephen Foster explores Puritanism in England and America from its roots in the Elizabethan era to the end of the seventeenth century. Focusing on Puritanism as a cultural and political phenomenon as well as a religious movement, Foster addresses parallel developments on both sides of the Atlantic and firmly embeds New England Puritanism within its English context. He provides not only an elaborate critque of current interpretations of Puritan ideology but also an original and insightful portrayal of its dynamism. According to Foster, Puritanism represented a loose and incomplete alliance of progressive Protestants, lay and clerical, aristocratic and humble, who never decided whether they were the vanguard or the remnant. Indeed, in Foster's analysis, changes in New England Puritanism after the first decades of settlement did not indicate secularization and decline but instead were part of a pattern of change, conflict, and accomodation that had begun in England. He views the Puritans' own claims of declension as partisan propositions in an internal controversy as old as the Puritan movement itself. The result of these stresses and adaptations, he argues, was continued vitality in American Puritanism during the second half of the seventeenth century. Foster draws insights from a broad range of souces in England and America, including sermons, diaries, spiritual autobiographies, and colony, town, and court records. Moreover, his presentation of the history of the English and American Puritan movements in tandem brings out the fatal flaws of the former as well as the modest but essential strengths of the latter.

Book Beyond Tenderpreneurship

Download or read book Beyond Tenderpreneurship written by MISTRA MISTRA and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2020-04-16 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) policies have been a central pillar of attempts to overcome the economic legacy of apartheid. Yet, more than two decades into democracy, economic exclusion in South Africa still largely re?ects the fault-lines of the apartheid era. Current discourse often con?ates BEE with the so-called tenderpreneurship referred to in the title, namely the reliance of some emergent black capitalists on state patronage. Authors go beyond this notion to understand BEEs role from a unique perspective. They trace the history of black entrepreneurship and how deliberate policies under colonialism and its apartheid variant sought to suppress this impulse. In the context of modern South Africa, authors interrogate the complex dynamics of class formation, economic empowerment and redress against the backdrop of broader macroeconomic policies. They examine questions relating to whether B-BBEE policies are informed by strategies to change the structure of the economy. These issues are explored against the backdrop of the experiences of other developing countries and their journeys of industrialisation. The relevant black empowerment experiences of countries such as the United States are also discussed. The authors identify policy and programmatic interventions to forge the non-racial future that the constitution enjoins South Africans to build.

Book The Relationship Between Black Economic Empowerment and Entrepreneurship in South Africa

Download or read book The Relationship Between Black Economic Empowerment and Entrepreneurship in South Africa written by Marisa Meyer and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black Economic Empowerment is a strategy aimed at substantially increasing meaningful Black participation at all levels in the South African economy. South Africa is characterised by remarkably low levels of entrepreneurship. As entrepreneurship is associated with wealth generation and job creation, increased entrepreneurial activity can contribute significantly to address unemployment and societal inequalities. This study explores the relationship between Black Economic Empowerment and entrepreneurship in South Africa in an attempt to investigate whether Black Economic Empowerment promotes entrepreneurship. A qualitative approach was adopted to gain insights into the lived experiences of Black Business Leaders and Black Entrepreneurs through a phenomenological analysis of the data. Data was also collected from Experts, in an attempt to strengthen the findings and validity of the study through triangulation. Research instruments included open-ended questionnaires to ascertain the views of Experts and face-to-face, in-depth interviews to promote storytelling by Black Business Leaders and Black Entrepreneurs. The results revealed that Black people are entrepreneurial in nature. Black people are motivated to pursue entrepreneurial opportunities by, inter alia, financial reasons, their contribution to society and the creation of wealth in order to leave a legacy. It is evident that Black Economic Empowerment can develop Black entrepreneurs, Black Businesses and Black intrapreneurs. A diagrammatic presentation of the relationship between Black Economic Empowerment and entrepreneurship is proposed that depicts the key linkages established by the findings from this study.
