Description

Review Anyone interested in faith and work, immigration, American history, or even just a good story will find this to be a fascinating, emotional, and vitally important book. In its pages, abstract political debates break away in the face of the messier reality of migration as a new religion of real life is uncovered.--The Christian CenturyBased on interviews with more than 100 native Iowans and immigrants from nations including the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ukraine, Afghanistan, and Honduras, Nabhan-Warren presents a nuanced view of citizen-immigrant relations that challenges the common narrative and prompts readers to consider a more complex narrative.--Civil EatsAs Kristy Nabhan-Warren shows in her fascinating new book, Meatpacking America, churches are once again the institutions on which many of the industry's workers most rely...Nabhan-Warren argues that faith enables Midwestern meatpacking workers of diverse backgrounds to survive the day-to-day horrors of their jobs and seek better lives for their children.--Commonweal MagazineIn her thoughtful and moving Meatpacking America, Kristy Nabhan-Warren scratches beneath the surface of Red State, small-own America to tell a story that is both sobering and encouraging...[Her] discussion of the plant's blood, guts, and stench are stomach-turning, but her assessment of its workers - white, Latino, Congolese, Vietnamese - are inspiring.--PatheosNabhan-Warren's prose is clear and often absorbing. Unclogged with needless jargon and centered firmly on the fascinating lives of her subjects, it is easily readable for a general audience. Anyone interested in the intersection of migration, labor and animal agriculture -- situating the American Midwest, one of the world's major food providers, in the global context to which it properly belongs -- will benefit from Meatpacking America.--Little Village Magazine Product Description null About the Author Kristy Nabhan-Warren is the V. O. and Elizabeth Kahl Figge Chair of Catholic Studies and a professor in the Departments of Religious Studies and Gender, Women's, and Sexuality Studies at the University of Iowa. She is the author, most recently, of The Cursillo Movement in America: Catholics, Protestants, and Fourth-Day Spirituality.
