Black American consumer rights during World War Two

In this episode of the Explaining History podcast we explore A Consumer's Republic by Lizbeth Cohen, an excellent exploration of the development of consumer politics and identity during the Second World War. Here we look at the black experience of discrimination and the advantages that federal price controls brought to black communities, even though they were rarely implemented fairly.
