Contents:
1. Diversity in Entrepreneurship (Vanessa Ratten) 2. Minority and Under-represented Communities in Entrepreneurship (Vanessa Ratten) 3. Taking Stock and Moving Forward in Research on Refugee Entrepreneurship: A Systematic Review of the Current Field and Future Research Directions (Solomon Akele Abebe) 4.

Competences in Social Business: An Analysis of the Narratives about the Experiences of a Group of Social Entrepreneurs in the State of Alagoas (Ibsen Mateus Bittencourt and Janette Brunstein) 8. Communities, Diversity and Entrepreneurship: Future Trends (Vanessa Ratten)
Summary: Whilst there has been an increased interest in minorities and their contribution to society, the literature on minorities and under-represented communities is still weak. This edited volume discusses entrepreneurship in the context of minorities and the role they play in society. The book looks at under-represented communities such as LGBTQ+, disadvantaged, ethnic minority, religious entrepreneurs, medically limited, indigenous, refugees, young/old and other socio-economic segments. It provides a holistic, comprehensive overview of how diversity in entrepreneurship facilitates increased levels of innovation. The book will be amongst the first to take a broad perspective of minority entrepreneurs.
