Chaldeans are Iraqi Catholics with a long history of emigration. As a group, Chaldeans own most of the full-service grocery stores, along with other business holdings throughout the Detroit metropolitan region. This investigation evaluates how the Chaldean family provides social capital for sponsoring high rates of self-employment. As an innovation over previous research, this project evaluates connective patriarchy and patrilineal familism as a supplier of entrepreneurs. By specifying cultural obligations between family members, this research differs from other case studies by recognizing the distinctive family structure of the Near East region. The article provides a nuanced analysis of family cooperation not fully exploited in the ethnic economy literature. One such prospect is familism within the extended family. The authors' approach triangulates ethnographic and life history data with census information to better understand how family shapes business ownership. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
