PERAZA, Brianda e VALENZUELA, Blas. The Mexican Transnational Ethnic Economy: Los Angeles, California. Prob. Des [online]. 2018, vol.49, n.192, pp.85-107. ISSN 0301-7036.
This research analyzes the nature of the Mexican ethnic economy developing in the cities of Huntington Park and Lynwood, California, in the United States. Using census databases and the results of 145 surveys administered to and 25 interviews with a range of people in 2012, this paper documents the existence of a Transnational Ethnic Economy (TEE), which goes further than the traditional definition of the “ethnic economy” concept” and is organized and develops in such a way that includes individual businesses, businesses with multiple branches, supermarket networks, and a commercial consortium in the study zone, with bonds and relationships that transcend national borders.
