Entrepreneurial capital development processes within gender, ethnicity and class relations : A practice-based perspective

In this study, I discuss the ways in which a diverse body of entrepreneurs, especially those who are historically disadvantaged and have scarce legitimate resources, strategize and negotiate being the ‘right sort of entrepreneur’ as a party in culturally constituted social class relations. To that end, I approach cultural and symbolic capital acquisition and conversion processes as inherent elements of entrepreneurs’ everyday coping practices, as experienced by seventeen immigrant women entrepreneurs in Sweden. I offer a class analysis by paying attention to the intersectionality of ethnicity and gender in relational terms to better articulate the interdependence between the material and cultural and symbolic configurations of power relations and the ways entrepreneurs rework them.
