Abstract Over the past two decades, Latinos have been making their way to new destinations in the US South, Midwest, and Intermountain West. Although most are flocking to jobs in agriculture and manufacturing, a number are starting businesses. To better understand Latino entrepreneurs in these new destinations, we present a case study of northern Utah, where the Latino population has skyrocketed in recent decades. Findings from surveys and interviews with Latino entrepreneurs suggest that they rely less on ethnic networks than their counterparts in established destinations due to differences in national origin. In the process of running their businesses, however, Latino entrepreneurs in this and other new destinations may be laying the groundwork for an ethnic community to emerge. Their recruitment of Latino workers, their visible presence in the community, and the space for intra-ethnic interaction they provide may help Latinos in this community overcome internal differences to forge an ethnic identity. In this case, the relationship between ethnic entrepreneurship and the ethnic community moves in the opposite direction, with entrepreneurs helping to establish rather than exploit intra-ethnic ties.

没有种族的种族企业家精神：犹他州北部的拉丁裔企业家

摘要在过去的二十年中，拉美裔人已逐渐进入美国南部，中西部和西部山地的新目的地。尽管大多数人都涌向农业和制造业工作，但仍有许多人开始创业。为了更好地了解这些新目的地的拉美裔企业家，我们以犹他州北部为例，该地区近几十年来拉美裔人口激增。从对拉丁裔企业家的调查和访谈中发现，由于原籍国的差异，他们对种族网络的依赖程度要低于在既定目的地的种族。但是，在经营业务的过程中，拉丁美洲和该地区以及其他新目的地的企业家可能正在为一个民族社区的崛起奠定基础。他们招募拉丁裔工人，他们在社区中的明显存在，以及他们提供的族内互动空间，可能有助于该社区中的拉丁裔克服内部差异，从而树立种族身份。在这种情况下，族裔企业家精神与族裔社区之间的关系朝着相反的方向发展，企业家帮助建立而不是利用族裔内部联系。
