Resumen de Dolores Del Río: return migration and successful entrepreneurship in Mexico, 1904-1983
Dolores Del Río was the first Mexican woman to succeed in the United States. Her condition as returned migrant has received only marginal attention. In the 1940s, she applied some of the most valuable skills of the American film industry, such as innovation, knowledge of the market and a powerful work ethic. Her life experience reveals how return migration can nurture successful entrepreneurship in Mexico. It also demonstrates, on a theoretical level, that personal qualities, and not social macro conditions, are the central factor behind successful return migration.
