Abstract

Social entrepreneurship has grown as an established field of inquiry, accompanied by growth in both academic and practice. In this paper, we offer a novel perspective on why some social entrepreneurs venture for foreigners. We employ xenophilia, a love of foreigners, to explain why some people care for foreigners by venturing for them. We conceptualize that religious and social class logics influence a xenophilic perspective of foreigners. We also analyze how xenophilia can have a darker side, particularly in social entrepreneurship. Our arguments and analysis allow us to provoke future research questions and offer practical implications.
