This book features contributions by international scholars who have
worked to establish a theory- and empirics-based discussion on
disadvantaged minorities and long-term economic development.
Depending on their socio-demographic characteristics, minorities
have long lived under the shadow of the groups, categories, or
communities they presumably belong to. Despite the obstacles they
have to face, they manage to demonstrate that, above all, they are
entrepreneurs capable to start, run, and successfully complete
their venture. Their motivations are often assimilated by the
research community into “necessity entrepreneurship.” In
addition to the external barriers they face, they have to overcome
endogenous cognitive factors that hinder their entrepreneurial
intention: anxiety before the future, the anguish of death,
generativity, health condition as perceived by others, subjective
age, and the cultural gap as viewed by natives, among
others. The book integrates a diversity of challenges and
disadvantages faced by entrepreneurs, allowing the reader to have a
renewed understanding of entrepreneurial behavior. On the
theoretical level, the chapters emphasize the need for integrating
entrepreneurship theory with multidisciplinary approaches, such as
the Theory of Cumulative Disadvantage/Advantage (CDA), cultural and
geographical theories, and psychological theories. On the practical
level, this book would raise the awareness of policy makers, mainly
governmental and nongovernmental organizations concerning the
disadvantages, and helping them adjust their actions either for
local or international programs. Chapter "Intersectionality and
Minority Entrepreneurship: At the Crossroad of Vulnerability and
Power" is available open access under a Creative Commons
