"The premise of this book is exciting and timely, touching on an industrial sector generally overlooked in discussions of the U.S. economy. This accessible and well-written book will be widely read and much debated."--Mark Moberg, author of Citrus, Strategy, and Class: The Politics of Development in Southern Belize
"These essays encapsulate a wide range of the most recent social science research on the nature of work and concerns of workers in the modern meatpacking industry. Several essays also describe the impact of plants and their workers on various small, isolated communities, and some include prescriptions for change."--Journal of the West
"This book does not just criticize a powerful and polluting industry, it offers positive policy suggestions, many simple and well known, on how to control and contain the process."--Annals of Iowa
