Ethnic Solidarity for Economic Survival - Pyong Gap Min; Russell Sage

Ethnic Solidarity for Economic Survival: Korean Greengrocers in New York City by Pyong Gap Min. Unsure of the Publication Date. Published by Russell Sage Foundation. Shrinkwrapped.

Generations of immigrants have relied on small family businesses in their pursuit of the American dream. This entrepreneurial tradition remains highly visible among Korean immigrants in New York City, who have carved out a thriving business niche for themselves operating many of the city's small grocery stores and produce markets. But this success has come at a price, leading to dramatic, highly publicized conflicts between Koreans and other ethnic groups. In Ethnic Solidarity for Economic Survival, Pyong Gap Min takes Korean produce retailers as a case study to explore how involvement in ethnic businesses―especially where it collides with the economic interests of other ethnic groups―powerfully shapes the social, cultural, and economic unity of immigrant groups.
