female immigrant entrepreneurs

  • Written by the project's team of researchers based in prestigious business schools and universities on almost every continent, this important book begins the process of discovering why and how female driven business start-ups often seem to spontaneously emerge in adverse environments. Is it randomness, luck, or chance that determine success or failure, or vital critical forces and the inherent qualities of the women involved? The research emerging from the FIE project points to answers to questions about the integration of immigrant communities, their interaction with host economic and business environments, and the role of women in that interaction.

    (USAID) and Western Union have launched a second African Diaspora Marketplace (ADM II). ADM II encourages sustainable economic growth and employment by supporting U.S.-based African Diaspora and other entrepreneurs with demonstrated relevant connections to, or experience in, Africa with innovative and high-impact ideas for start-up and established businesses in Africa. The new Marketplace will incorporate key learning from the first African Diaspora Marketplace, by focusing grants toward priority, high-impact sectors in Africa, including agribusiness, renewable energy, and information and communication technology (ICT). To expand upon their previous success, Western Union and USAID will invite small business investment funds and technical assistance mentors to participate.

  • I first wrote about this in an essay entitled, “The browning of the American farm,” an article published in High Country News and reprinted in Colorado Central Magazine in 2000. In that article I noted how the family farm was in declined among white Americans; however, the number of Latina/o owned and operated farms was increasing at a dramatic pace and in Washington State increased by more than 300 percent during that decade. Many of these farmers are Mexicans and a good portion is people from indigenous backgrounds.
