Wrestling with Starbucks
conscience, capital, cappuccino
by Kim Fellner
"Say "Starbucks" and people start talking. From Paris, France, to Paris, Texas, Tampa to Tokyo, perfect strangers will gladly debate the merits of Starbucks coffee and the meaning of Starbucks in modem life. In Wrestling with Starbucks, an investigation into Starbucks' ethos and actions, social justice activist Kim Fellner asks how a coffeehouse chain with a liberal reputation came to symbolize, for some, the ills of globalization Fellner takes readers on an expedition into the muscle and soul of the coffee company. She finds a corporation filled with contradictions: between employee-friendly processes and anti-union practices; between an internationalist vision and a longing for global dominance; between community individuality and cultural conformity."--Jacket.
