Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 2001. 356p., illustrated with chapter-divider b&w photos, a later printing of the hardbound issue in clothbacked boards and glossy dust jacket. A fine clean copy. From p.160: "Today, roughly two-thirds of the workers at the beef plant in Greeley cannot speak English. Most of them are Mexican immigrants who live in places like the River Park Mobile Court, a collection of battered old trailers a quarter-mile down the road from the slaughterhouse.." --find a three or four page section on the Hispanic ("Latino," in author's index) component of fastfood workforce, plus other scattered references.

Synopsis

Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal (2001) is a book by investigative journalist Eric Schlosser that examines the local and global influence of the United States fast food industry. First serialized by Rolling Stone in 1999, the book has drawn comparisons to Upton Sinclair's classic muckraking novel The Jungle.
