Latino/a business owners in Ames, Iowa
by Iniguez, Mario A., M.A., IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY, 2007, 60 pages; 1446073

Abstract:

As more Latino/as become employers, their economic vitality will grow further, and assume a stronger position in the U.S. economy. In this study I have focused on the city of Ames, Iowa, and the personal stories of its Latino/a business owners. From their individual stories, insight can be gained into what if any common themes they have in starting, and maintaining their businesses, how much family plays a role, and how connected the owners are to the business community. In sum, the purpose of this study is to document the story of each Latino/a owner. Each story is an opportunity to listen to the voices of those who are shaping the future of the Midwest.
