Although the anthropology of entrepreneurship, i.e. the use of sociocultural
theories and ethnographic methods in the study of entrepreneurship, has steadily
risen since the 1990s, there still exists a lack of interaction between anthropological
and entrepreneurial research.
Carla Freeman’s Entrepreneurial
Selves aims to fill at least part of this gap by turning the spotlight on the work
practices and lifestyles of entrepreneurs on the Caribbean island of Barbados.
The result is a very valuable addition to our understanding of the workings and
meanings of neoliberalism in postcolonial settings.
