Pascal Dey and Chris Steyaert provide a timely critique on the idea
of social entrepreneurship and its reputation as a means for
positive social change. The book uses different traditions and
modes of critique to interrogate, disrupt and reimagine the concept
of social entrepreneurship. Presented in five parts, each
individual contribution uses a different critical perspective to
analyse and assess social entrepreneurship in its mythological,
ideological and performative constitution, looking for its
democratic possibilities and alternative affirmations. Using varied
analytical approaches, the resulting work highlights the need for a
greater recognition of the unintended effects of social
entrepreneurship and in doing so, adds nuance to a concept that has
gone relatively unchallenged. In addition, each chapter identifies
intriguing points for further research. Scholars in the fields of
social entrepreneurship, management and organizational studies will
find this a relevant and insightful work. Those with a wider
scholarly interest in critical research, particularly in the
humanities or social sciences, will also find the critical
approaches compelling. Contributors: K. Berglund, M.B. Calas, J.
