Abstract

ABSTRACT This article examines entrepreneurship as a community practice strategy, drawing on interviews with 35 participants in a small business training program and six program staff members. Interviewees characterized entrepreneurship as an escape from the constraints of wage labor and as a way to participate actively in Detroit’s much publicized, yet inequitable revitalization. They also described entrepreneurship as risky and unnerving , especially in regards to taking on loans offered by the program. These findings illuminate opportunities and challenges associated with entrepreneurship as a strategy for promoting financial justice and community economic development.
