Pigs are everywhere in United States history. They cleared
frontiers and built cities (notably Cincinnati, once known as
Porkopolis), served as an early form of welfare, and were at the
center of two nineteenth-century "pig wars." American pork fed the
hemisphere; lard literally greased the wheels of capitalism. J. L.
Anderson has written an ambitious history of pigs and pig products
from the Columbian exchange to the present, emphasizing critical
stories of production, consumption, and waste in American history.
He examines different cultural assumptions about pigs to provide a
window into the nation's regional, racial, and class fault lines,
and maps where pigs are (and are not) to reveal a deep history of
the American landscape. A contribution to American history, food
studies, agricultural history, and animal studies, Capitalist Pigs
is an accessible, deeply researched, and often surprising portrait
of one of the planet's most consequential interspecies
relationships.
