TI - Experience of migrant self-employment as „economisation of ethnicity”. Indian and Chinese entrepreneurs in Poland
AB - 
	Th e article presents the concept of “economisation of ethnicity” understood as a strategy of taking advantage of cultural resources of ethnic groups in conducting business activities. On the example of the Chinese and Indian communities it explores diff erent ways and patterns of using ethnic cultural and ethnic social capital for the development of own enterprises. Such strategies involve for example: attracting ethnic customers, employing ethnic workers, off ering ethnic goods. However, “economisation of ethnicity” means using ethnicity in a non-alienating manner. It includes also eff orts of integration with the host society, for example good knowledge of Polish language and culture. Th e article is based on the offi cial statistical data and results of the qualitative research conducted in years 2014–2017 within the grant project fi nanced by the National Science Centre.
