What about rethinking ethnic economy sociology? The case of the immigrant entrepreneurship in Lavapiés (Spain)
Keywords:
Immigrant entrepreneuship, ethnic economy, selfemployment,Abstract
The research on the relationship between self-employment and immigrant population is already a consolidated field in the sociology of migration. This article examines the more important approaches (middleman minorities, ethnic economy, ethnic enclave economy) on immigrant entrepreneurship and what we consider as their main elements: communitarism, mutualism/solidarism and upward social mobility. Through the empirical case of Lavapies’s neighborhood in Madrid, this article would like to be an invitation of rethinking the ethnic economy sociology
