Abstract

This research aims to analyze the strategies of immigrant women in the mid-range restaurant industry in Burkina Faso. It is precisely a question of identifying and characterizing the strategic choices that enable these women to establish themselves in this sector of activity. The results show that the restaurateurs studied rely on their (ethnic) culinary capital to serve a non-ethnic clientele; this corresponds to an integration strategy or an intermediate minority attitude. However, these restaurateurs often have to go through the enclave strategy before the integration phase. Highlighting this dynamic approach to entrepreneurial strategies contributes to enriching the literature on immigrant entrepreneurship in general, especially immigrant women’s entrepreneurship.
