Opis

The Store in the Hood is a comprehensive study of conflicts between immigrant merchants and customers throughout the U.S. during the 20th century. The book draws on published research, official statistics, interviews, and ethnographic data collected from diverse locations to discuss the many causes of these disputes. The book argues that these are determined by society's larger structure-government agencies, politicians, majority voters, and leading companies--as well as customers and entrepreneurs. The book also suggests possible solutions.
