In his book, “The Effects of Racism and Racial Discrimination on Minority Business Development: The Case of Black Manufactures in Chicago’s Ethnic Beauty Aids Industry, Robert Mark Silverman tends to show the structure of black’s businesses and how they are ran. The business that he talks about in his book is about Chicago’s ethnic beauty aids industry. He says about the ways the business is shaped due to racism and racial discrimination in the mainstream society. Silverman says,” On balance, there is little documentation of the historical development of large-scale black manufactures enterprises. The lack of such an analysis severely limits our understanding of the relationship between business development in the black community and institutions in mainstream society.” He starts giving facts about the past around the 1990s. He states how it formed earlier than in present times such as the Great Depression as well as the Civil rights Movement. He gives the history of when whites took away land from the blacks which made them angry and allowed then to shape their businesses the way that they did. He also focuses on black entrepreneurship as well as black manufactures. Silverman says, “In the past, many scholars considered large-scale black-owned enterprises anomalies, and they characterized the black business community as being dominated be a number of small, relatively marginal, enterprises.”
