An expanded second edition of SLAUGHTERHOUSE BLUES: THE MEAT AND
POULTRY INDUSTRY IN NORTH AMERICA is now available. The authors, a
cultural anthropologist and a social geographer, draw on three
decades of research to present a detailed look at the modern meat
and poultry industry in the United States and Canada. Following
chapters on industrial beef, poultry, and pork production,
SLAUGHTERHOUSE BLUES scrutinizes industry impacts on farmers and
ranchers, processing workers, and on the communities that host its
plants. The book details the authors' efforts to help communities
plan for and mitigate the negative consequences of meat and poultry
plants as well as community opposition to confined animal feeding
operations. The second edition includes recent research and
up-to-date information on industry and consumer trends. A new
chapter, "Is Meat Murder?" examines the growing public concern with
animal rights and animal welfare. The book concludes with a look at
the health and social consequences of the present system of meat
production before exploring alternatives to North America's model
of industrialized meat.
