A Contextual Analysis of Black Self-Employment in Large Metropolitan Areas, 1970-1980.
Boyd, Robert L.
Social Forces, v70 n2 p409-29 Dec 1991
In 1970, urban African-American self-employment depended upon niches created by racial disadvantage, but by 1980 increased educational attainment and occupational status of African-American workers enabled them to move beyond traditional niches and become entrepreneurs supported by a sizable middle class African-American community. Contains 53 references. (Author/SV)
