Description

In this broad-based, imaginative and challenging volume by front-runners in the domain of immigrant and refugee entrepreneurship, Ivan Light, Leo-Paul Dana and Didier Chabaud contribute a near boundless magnitude to our understanding of this realm of scholarship, agency, endurance, and survivorship. Their insights into the saliency of these forms of collective effort are as impressive as they are persuasive. Seven Gold, Department of Sociology, Michigan State University.

This book holds significant academic merit and also serves as an essential tool for policymakers, scholars, and anyone keen on understanding the deep influence of immigrant entrepreneurship on global society. Additionally, it celebrates the relentless spirit of immigrant entrepreneurs who persistently foster innovation and drive transformative changes within their communities.

"History, Cases, and Frontiers." That subtitle explains exactly what this remarkable book provides. The history section offers a depth of understanding that literature reviews cannot match. The cases assemble all the evidence now available regarding immigrant and refugee entrepreneurship in Europe, and the frontiers section takes readers to the boundary of theoretically informed current research. A glossary eases access for newcomers. It all amounts to a one-stop complete education that fills gaps in the knowledge of experienced researchers and enables others quickly to attain qualification. Marina Dabic, Faculty of Economics and Business, University of Zagreb

A carefully crafted volume with thoughtful case studies that capture the nuances of the complexity, diversity, changing patterns, and impacts of immigrant and refugee entrepreneurship. Min Zhou, Department of Sociology, University of California, Los Angeles
