Nevertheless, despite the decades-long concentration of Korean Argentines in the same sector, the motivations behind their involvement and the types and styles of their businesses have been reshaped over time through the twists and turns of the host country’s junctures. Applying rigorous immigrant entrepreneurship theories, yet wary of orthodoxies, Kim examines the intriguing paths which Korean entrepreneurs have taken to develop their businesses in the Argentine garment industry amidst complex, frantically volatile social and economic circumstances, and argues for the application of a new approach that combines existing theories with historically contextual perspectives. Unlike those of their North American counterparts, the history, settlement, and current status of Korean immigrants in Latin America have been notoriously under-examined. Thus, this unique case-study on Korean immigrant entrepreneurship in Latin America substantially contributes to bridging the gap between the North and the South and represents a significant milestone in the fields of both migration and Korean studies.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 228mmItem Length: 160mmItem Width: 19mmItem Weight: 499gBook Series: Korean Communities across the WorldRelease Year: 2021 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
