A chapter in Entrepreneurship in South America, 2022, pp 117-133 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter proposes to delve into the history and current practice of entrepreneurship in French Guiana. It sheds light on the unique characteristics of entrepreneurship in this context, which is generally overlooked in the management literature. One of the insights gained from such a context is that collective entrepreneurship has historically served as a rehumanizing process in a post-slavery society. The chapter also illuminates how an unusually young and highly multicultural society experiences the emergence of an entrepreneurial ecosystem despite massive structural barriers, by leveraging its human potential and its uniquely rich biodiversity.
