A chapter in The Palgrave Handbook of Minority Entrepreneurship, 2021, pp 15-32 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter opens the book with a detailed, in-depth review of the literature that considers the evolution and many interpretations of the term ‘Minority Entrepreneurship’. Its purpose is to take a reader on a journey of this evolution in a comprehensive fashion. It guides a reader through the world of various minorities highlighted in the handbook, including the unemployed, gay, ex-offenders, diverse indigenous people and disabled communities. While an answer to the question who qualify as minority has proven to be time-, context- and case-dependent, what all minorities share in common appears to be their unfavourable position within power networks. Understanding different behaviours and unique challenges of these disparate communities can guide policymakers to become increasingly relevant.
