Ethnic Entrepreneurs: Identity and Development Politics in Latin America
- Synopsis
-
In order to understand the emergence and effects of ethnic entrepreneurs, DeHart (anthropology, U. of Puget Sound) traces the changing contours of development practice in Latin America, emphasizing how it has put ethnic cultural difference to work for development. She asks why and in what circumstances ethnic subjects have been identified as agents of economic development; and how the mobilization of ethnic cultural identity and practice for development solidifies, challenges, or transforms how ethnic agents perceive their own identity, community, and development goals.
