Abstract:
|
This study applies the concept of intersectionality to Black women’s entrepreneurial activity. Specifically, I address the ways in which race, gender, and class intersect to inform working-class Black women’s decisions and experiences as hair salon owners. By placing Black women at the center of analysis, I explore business ownership from the perspective of a group that has frequently been overlooked in sociology of entrepreneurship research. My findings indicate that race, gender, and class create a very different picture of entrepreneurship for Black women than that which is revealed through existing research and scholarship. |

Feminist researchers have been particularly effective in promoting scholarship that examines race gender and class as interlocking categories of oppression wherein the experiences of some minority groups (e.g. Black women) must be understood as a consequence of racial gendered |
