“…Religion is seen more as personal rather than as institutional. Santería, which is a combination of Catholic and African traditions, became more popular as refugees sought to maintain their cultural identity (Curtis, 1980). This is a folk religion that combines ritual, magical, and medical beliefs.…”

“…Yard displays may represent a form of territoriality in which residents personalize their yard to demarcate and claim control of their primary territory, their home (Brown 1987;Taylor 1988). In Miami, for example, those of Catholic and Santeria faith place yard shrines in their front yard near the sidewalk, always facing the street (Curtis 1980). This location both communicates to the public and defines the territory.…”

“…A number of studies have found that this communalism in yard display is frequently tied to religion, ethnicity, and status (Curtis 1980 Arreola and Curtis 1993;Sheehy 1998). In a study of yard shrines in San Antonio, Texas, and Tucson, Arizona, Daniel Arreola found that the majority of shrine owners were Catholic and that many of them had been born in Mexico (1988).…”

Signs as Yard art in Amarillo, Texas

ABSTRACT. The city of Amarillo, Texas, is unusual in that more than 5,000 art objects in the form of signs are displayed on individual properties. These signs represent a unique partnership between the public and a wealthy individual, Stanley Marsh 3, who subsidizes them. Through a field survey of 723 signs and a questionnaire mailed to 98 residents with signs in their yards, we explored use of the signs for communal and individual expression. The field survey found a higher concentration of signs in low‐ and moderate‐income neighborhoods and in Hispanic areas than in high‐income and non‐Hispanic neighborhoods. The questionnaire revealed that residents used signs for both individual and communal expression and that most residents with signs liked them. Dissatisfaction among a small percentage of residents with signs suggested that the vast number of signs may have compromised their initial uniqueness.

“…E como esses imigrantes menos favorecidos conseguem gerar tanta riqueza? A resposta está nos mercados étnicos, como as conhecidas "Chinatowns" (Zhou, 2004), "Little Havana" (Curtis, 1980) e "Little Italys" (Mitchell, 2008), que estão espalhados pelas metrópoles do mundo. Os negócios criados por imigrantes fornecem produtos e serviços, que por sua vez constituem mercados nos países onde se estabelecem esses imigrantes.…”

Analisa-se o fenômeno da configuração de mercados de produtos e serviços étnicos dentro das comunidades imigrantes brasileiras estabelecidas no exterior. Por meio de um ensaio teórico, são feitas considerações baseadas em achados de trabalhos anteriores, em evidências empíricas e observações dos autores a respeito das práticas de mercados étnicos, no seio de comunidades brasileiras. O relato e a interpretação dos fatos históricos foram estruturados na forma de análise do tema. Ao final do ensaio teórico são apresentados uma tabela e um diagrama resumo dos achados discutidos. A tabela se refere às práticas de transações, gerando cocriação de valor, práticas normativas e práticas representacionais baseadas nas evidências empíricas. Já o diagrama ilustra a configuração de mercados étnicos no sentido temporal e ambiental, identificando fatores internos da comunidade ou do ambiente que seriam facilitadores da criação de mercados.
