    Open AccessHéctor R Cordero-Guzmán, Héctor R Cordero‐guzmán et al.ARTICLEThe Annals of the American…2013Cited by: 5References: 14

    In this article, we argue that understanding the impact of economic structures on low-wage workers requires the study of emerging worker centers and networks and that individual labor market outcomes and experiences are mediated and impacted by the work of these institutions. We focus on the formation of sectoral worker center networks and address three key issues: (1) What are some of the reasons why worker centers and worker center networks hav…

  • Voting With Their Feet

    Open AccessHector Cordero-Guzman, Héctor R Cordero‐guzmán et al.ARTICLEAmerican Behavioral Scientist2008Cited by: 33References: 23

    In 2006 immigrants and their supporters participated in a series of marches in cities throughout the United States. The enormous size and scale of the demonstrations were surprising to some observers, who saw the marches as a spontaneous outburst of frustration. This article argues the unprecedented turnout at the demonstrations should be seen not as a spontaneous outburst but in large part the result of long-standing cooperative efforts and netw…

  • Latino Self-Employment and Entrepreneurship in the United States

    Open AccessBárbara J Robles, Hector Cordero-Guzman et al.ARTICLEThe Annals of the American…2007Cited by: 14References: 28

    While significant attention has been paid to the growth of the Latino population and its contribution to the U.S. labor market, less scholarly and popular media attention has focused on Latino self-employment, entrepreneurship, and business growth. A review of interdisciplinary research literature on Latino entrepreneurship over the past twenty-five years indicates a gap in our knowledge about the accelerated growth in Latino small business owner…

  • Community-Based Organisations and Migration in New York City

    Héctor R Cordero-Guzmán, Héctor R Cordero‐guzmánARTICLENew Community2005Cited by: 56References: 1

    This article shows how immigrant Community-Based Organisations (CBOs) play a central role during all parts of the immigration process and in the social, cultural, political and economic adaptation and incorporation of immigrants. It is based on interviews, and a survey with immigrant organisations in New York City. I argue that CBOs play a key role in: a) assisting individuals and families in the reunification process by providing advice and lega…

  • Cognitive Skills, Test Scores, and Social Stratification

    Open AccessHéctor R Cordero-Guzmán, Héctor R Cordero‐guzmánARTICLEThe Review of Black Political…2001Cited by: 11References: 10

    In this paper I ahve shown that scores on the AFQT are a function of family and school level material resources and investments on individual development. The AFQT is not a measure of “intelligence (IQ),” “ability,” or “cognitive skills.” The AFQT is in large part a measure of access to material resources, social investments, and exposure to the values, experiences, and networks of the white upper middle class

  • Lessons From Operation Bootstrap

    Hector Cordero-Guzman, Héctor R Cordero‐guzmánARTICLENACLA Report on the Americas1994

    In the 1950s, Puerto Rico tied its development strategy to market-oriented reforms and to the U.S. economy. The mixed results of the experience may offer some clues to what Mexico can look forward to in a NAFTA-dominated future

    This article analyzes the 1960, 1970, and 1980 Public Use Microdata Samples of the decennial censuses and a pooled extract from the 1983, 1985, and 1987 Current Population Surveys to examine labor force activity among minority women.

  • Placing race in context

    Clara E Rodríguez, Héctor Cordero‐guzmán et al.ARTICLEEthnic and Racial Studies1992Cited by: 65References: 8

    In the United States, in the last two decennial censuses, 40 per cent of Hispanics rejected racial categories, such as 'White' or 'Black', and racially classified themselves 'Other'. Scholars have argued that the format of the question induced them to respond this way; that those Hispanics who ticked 'Other' are racially intermediate, that is to say, mulatto or mestizo; and, lastly, that Hispanics simply misunderstood the question. This article e…
