20 The National Labor Federation (1975) states, “The term unrecognized worker was developed to<br />
categorize a third status of workers in the United States who have not yet been recognized as necessitating<br />
the same rights and privileges as other workers who have been so recognized. These workers include farm<br />
workers, domestic workers, independent contractors, workers in small shops and in business and service<br />
arenas, and the unemployed and welfare recipients who are increasingly being forced into point of<br />
production arenas.”<br />
21 Not all non-profit organizations are CBOs (community based organizations). For instance, while the Red<br />
Cross and National Urban League are non-profits, they are not CBOs. “The non-profits classified as CBOs,<br />
are, first of all, ‘community-based’ in that they are organized around a particular geographic place (i.e., a<br />
‘community,’ such as an urban neighborhood. CBOs generally only operate in their geographic space,<br />
which distinguishes geographic CBOs from larger non-profits operating at multiple sites” (Marwell<br />
2004:270).<br />

24 Lu and Fine (1995:535) explain that many of the social places where ethnicity is made ‘real’ are<br />
economically grounded. At festivals, restaurants, art galleries, clothing outlets, and musical venues,<br />
‘ethnicity’ becomes used as a marketing tool, a part of an entrepreneurial market.<br />
