From Head Shops to Whole Foods by Joshua C. Davis
Call Number: eBook
ISBN: 9780231171588
Publication Date: 2017-08-08
From Head Shops to Whole Foods covers a new history of social movements and capitalism by showing how activists embraced small businesses in a way few historians have considered. The book challenges the widespread but mistaken idea that activism and political dissent are inherently antithetical to participation in the marketplace. Joshua Clark Davis uncovers the historical roots of contemporary interest in ethical consumption, social enterprise, buying local, and mission-driven business, while also showing how today's companies have adopted the language—but not often the mission—of liberation and social change.
