Abstract

The sociology of ethnic entrepreneurship is a relatively recent and unknown field of study outside the ethnic relations studies and the sociology of immigration. However, many of his pioneering works are inspired by the classical sociological debates: the historical transition from traditional to modern societies, the relationship between minorities and modern capitalism’s development. The middleman minorities studies, inheritors of the classical studies on the pariah peoples, are a good example of this connexion. The middleman minorities studies were initially confined to traditional societies but, after an renewal process experienced in the last quarter of the 20th century, this approach extended its scope to the study of the economic specialisation registered by some ethnic minorities in advanced capitalist societies. Thanks to this renewal, middleman minorities approach had a great influence –with its successes and mistakes– on the sociology of ethnic entrepreneurship.
