520 $a This study addresses the role of gender relations in the ethnic economy and in the reconstruction and retention of ethnic identity and culture among two of the major religio-ethnic Iranian immigrant groups--Moslems and Jews in Los Angeles.
520 $a In addressing the links between productive and socially reproductive labor, I show how various forms of labor relations emerge under capitalism. Case studies are presented of women active in the following categories of work: women in family run businesses, women operating businesses from their homes, women operating and working shops and boutiques; women working in services and in the informal economy; professional women; and women working in households in non-income producing work. These categories have been designed to allow investigation of work relations in the market in self-employment, in paid and underpaid jobs, as well as women's work which is non-income producing. Avenues for entrepreneurial activity that are gender specific, as well as women's ethnic resource utilization in each of the above work contexts is addressed.
520 $a The interdependent character of the ethnic community and the labor force has to be identified in order to observe linkages between the community as a site for the ongoing production of ethnicity and as a form of labor force organization. Women, precisely because they are not confined or limited to only the private or public realms in their daily life, are able to effectively establish networks, both formal and informal that play a dominant role in the development of ethnic identity among these first generation immigrants.
520 $a Social and economic processes that are often hidden in aggregate data with regards to the role and function of gender in work processes and in the community in general are examined through an alternative methodology of participant observation, oral history, and open ended interviews. The conceptual framework utilized in my research crosses many divided dichotomies: between traditional and market economies, between public and private spheres, bringing together previously separated spheres of analysis regarding gender, class and ethnicity.
