A decade in preparation, Immigrant Entrepreneurs offers the most comprehensive case study ever completed of the causes and consequences of immigrant business ownership. Koreans are the most entrepreneurial of America's new immigrants. By the mid1970s Americans had already become aware that Korean immigrants were opening, buying, and operating numerous business enterprises in major cities. When Koreans flourished in small business, Americans wanted to know how immigrants could find lucrative business opportunities where nativeborn Americans could not. Somewhat later, when Koreanblack conflicts surfaced in a number of cities, Americans also began to fear the implications for intergroup relations of immigrant entrepreneurs who start in the middle rather than at the bottom of the social and economic hierarchy.Nowhere was immigrant enterprise more obvious or impressive than in Los Angeles, the world's largest Korean settlement outside of Korea and America's premier city of small business. Analyzing both the shortrun and the longrun causes of Korean entrepreneurship, the authors explain why the Koreans could find, acquire, and operate small business firms more easily than could nativeborn residents. They also provide a context for distinguishing clashes of culture and clashes of interest which cause blackKorean tensions in cities, and for framing effective policies to minimize the tensions.
