[239]-246) and index. 520 1 _a"McDonald's restaurants are found in over 100 countries, serving tens of millions of people each day. What are the cultural implications of this phenomenal success? Golden Arches East argues that McDonald's has largely become divorced from its American roots and become a "local" institution for an entire generation of affluent consumers in Hong Kong, Beijing, Taipei, Seoul, and Tokyo. For the second edition, James L. Watson covers recent attacks on the fast food chain as a symbol of American imperialism, and the company's role in the obesity controversy currently raging in the U.S. food industry. The new edition also brings the story of East Asian franchises into the twenty-first century."--BOOK JACKET. 650 0 _aSociology -- Fast Food Culture -- McDonald's -- East Asia -- Consumerism _xSocial aspects _zEast Asia. 650 0 _aGlobalization _zEast Asia. 700 1 _aWatson, James L. 942 _2ddc 952 _r2010-01-15 _x09510222 _40 _e6 _00 _621850380 _9205064 _10 _o2185/0380 _d2010-01-15 _z340098 _70 _c1 _g23.00 _yBOOK _aIFS 999 _c340098 _d340098
