Abstract

Through a brief review of some of the classic theories regarding ethnic entrepreneurship, this article makes an ethnographic description of what the ethnic entrepreneur means to the markets. To do so, the article focuses on the market of Les Glòries in the city of Barcelona and uses the immigrant Moroccan community in Catalonia as a reference. It places particular emphasis on the spatial structure of the market as an expression of the trajectory of the Moroccans in Catalonia and distinguishes different types of entrepreneur who are distributed unevenly both across the market and across formal and informal sales practices.
