GENDERED PROCESSES OF KOREAN SMALL BUSINESS
OWNERSHIP. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Dec 2008, Pages: 220
This study examines how Korean immigrant women and
men from the New York City metropolitan area become
owners of small businesses. Interviews with owners
and their family workers at seventy Korean-owned
small businesses in three service and retail
industries were conducted and supplemented by
ethnographic observations, the 1990 Census, and
interviews with informers.
Patriarchal family relations, which emphasize male
authority and female compliance, are key to
understanding the current phenomenon of Korean
immigrant entrepreneurship: how immigrants become
owners, how businesses are run, and finally why they
achieve a great degree of success.
