This exhaustive, interdisciplinary Handbook explores the phenomena of immigration and ethnic minority entrepreneurship in light of marked changes since the mid-twentieth century and the advent of easier, more affordable travel, and more open and integrated national economies. The international contributors, key experts in their respective fields, illustrate that myriad ethnic minorities exist across the globe, and that their entrepreneurship can and does significantly influence national economies. This important Handbook seeks to promote our understanding of which factors make for successful entrepreneurship, and, perhaps more importantly, how negative political consequences that members of successful entrepreneurial ethnic minorities might face can be minimized.

这本详尽的跨学科手册根据二十世纪中期以来的显著变化以及更容易、更负担得起的旅行和更开放、更一体化的国民经济的出现，探讨了移民和少数民族创业现象。国际贡献者是各自领域的关键专家，他们表明，全球存在着无数少数民族，他们的创业精神能够而且确实对国家经济产生重大影响。这本重要的手册旨在促进我们了解哪些因素有助于成功创业，也许更重要的是，如何最大限度地减少成功创业的少数民族成员可能面临的负面政治后果。
