- Title
NAILING RACE AND LABOR RELATIONS.
- Authors
Kay Hoang, Kimberly
- Abstract
This article brings theories of immigrant entrepreneurship into conversation with a broader literature on Asian American racialization in the United States. Drawing on four months of ethnographic field research, I shed light on the micro-processes, routines, and everyday interactions in two Vietnamese-owned nail salons located outside ofVietnamese enclaves in majority black and Latino neighborhoods in Northern and Southern California. Introducing the triangular system of labor relationships concept, I highlight a system of racialized and class-based labor relationships among owners-workers-clients that were crucial to sustaining business relationships in majority-minority neighborhoods.
