Franchise: The Golden Arches in Black America by Marcia Chatelain

5.0

I learned about this book on Eve Ewing’s Instagram story, and I’m glad I checked it out. This book explores the complex relationship between Black people and McDonald’s but really gets at how Black capitalism is used for political power—communicated as a path to freedom for working class Black people while only providing opportunities for a few at the expense of far too many.
