Eli and the Octopus: The Ceo Who Tried to Reform One of the World's Most Notorious Corporations
The Meat Industry Goes Back to the Jungle
Major outbreaks of the coronavirus among workers in meatpacking plants have brought renewed public scrutiny to a hazardous industry. Working conditions had improved through the mid-twentieth century, after investigations by muckraking journalist Upton Sinclair and others early in the century exposed unsafe and unsanitary practices. But benefits and protections for workers have steadily eroded in recent decades, due to the decline of unions and ri…

Joshua Specht. Red Meat Republic: A Hoof-to-Table History of How Beef Changed America
Historians are increasingly offering bold perspectives on the importance of food production and consumption in shaping societies. An excellent example is Lizzie Collingham’s The Taste of Empire: How Britain’s Quest for Food Shaped the Modern World (2017). While Collingham argues that the British search for food propelled imperial development, in Red Meat Republic: A Hoof-to-Table History of How Beef Changed America, Joshua Specht makes the case f…
American Fair Trade: Proprietary Capitalism, Corporatism, and the "New Competition," 1890-1940
Historians have written extensively on farmers' and laborers' attempts to combat business concentration during the second industrial revolution. Laura Phillips Sawyer's American Fair Trade focuses on the trade associations of independent proprietors that embraced the antimonopoly struggle. Starting in the World War I era, these associations worked with government bureaucracies to create favorable market conditions. Although fair competition was a…
Henry Ford’s Plan for the American Suburb: Dearborn and Detroit by Heather B. Barrow
Henry Ford is best known as the architect of modern mass-production methods. His name is also associated with Fordism’s fitful transformation of workers into middle-class consumers. Heather B. Barrow’s study examines Fordism’s effects on autoworkers in Dearborn, Michigan, the working-class suburb that developed around Ford Motor Company’s River Rouge plant. By 1927, the Rouge had replaced the Highland Park factory where the Model T had been made.…
Teaching History in the Digital Classroom

Filled with decision-making scenarios and reflective questions that help bring the material to life, it covers the development of teaching technologies, developing lesson plans, and actual instructional models in history and social studies. An appendix provides sample lessons, sample tests, a list …
Slaughterhouse: Chicago's Union Stock Yard and the World It Made
Between 1900 and 1925 Chicago's Union Stock Yard—Dominic A. Pacyga has intentionally used the original name—was arguably the most important industrial district in the United States, if not in the world. Pacyga's book emphasizes the wonderment that this vast complex of people and animals inspired and its economic significance in provisioning much of the nation's meat supply from the stockyard's opening in 1865 to its closing in 1971. The book has …

"Struggling with "Iowa's Pride: Labor Relations, Unionism, and Politics in the Rural Midwest since 1877
Meat-packing has become a popular area of investigation for historians and social anthropologists alike. There has been a flurry of articles and books, many of which have discussed twentieth-century developments and have featured industrial plants in the smaller midwestern cities. Wilson J. Warren's detailed study of John Morrell and Company workers in Ot-tumwa, Iowa, adds to this knowledge. It confirms both the recent demoralizing trends in de-i…
