Author Nan Enstad, professor of history at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, discusses her book Cigarettes, Inc. Enstad's startling account of the cigarette's spectacular rise in popularity uncovers a corporate network rooted in Jim Crow segregation that stretched to China and beyond. Through stories from myriad cross-cultural encounters before World War II, the book offers nothing less than a sweeping reinterpretation of corporate power itself.
