Red Meat Republic: A Hoof-to-Table History of How Beef Changed America
Academics, journalists, and food activists seem to agree that to appreciate the environmental implications of ranching, we can begin by looking at farm-to-table connections. In Red Meat Republic, Joshua Specht makes these linkages all the more apparent. The book brings to the fore “the institutions and practices keeping beef on the dinner table”—the “cattle-beef complex” (4)—at the inception of meatpacking in the United States. It demonstrates ho…
Vendors' Capitalism: A Political Economy of Public Markets in Mexico City
Public markets in Mexico City have everything to satisfy human wants. Vendors hawk essential food items alongside everyday necessities. Ingrid Bleynat's Vendors' Capitalism takes the reader beyond this impressive range of goods to explore the historical significance of such markets and, most importantly, of their workers to Mexico's capitalist development from the mid-nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century. The self-employed workers (trabajadore…

Institutions and Interest Groups: Meat Provision in Mexico City, c. 1850-1967
This paper examines Mexico City's meat supply system from the 1850s to 1967. During this period, whereas some urban centers in the Americas replaced traditional provisioning methods - abattoir system - with meatpacking companies, Mexico City continued to rely on the municipal monopoly to provide meat for the masses. This study focuses on the role that ranchers, cattle purveyors (introductores), and slaughterhouse (rastro) workers, alongside city …
Struggles over an ‘Old, Nasty, and Inconvenient Monopoly’: Municipal Slaughterhouses and the Meat Industry in Rio de Janeiro, 1880–1920s
This paper examines the meat supply system in Rio de Janeiro from the late nineteenth century to the 1920s. For a period of time the city's monopoly over meat processing and retailing guaranteed a steady supply at predictable prices. However, at the turn of the century, ‘interlopers’, as municipal officials labelled those who attempted to introduce their product into Rio's market, began to question this century-old monopoly. Hence, for a relative…
Borders, Trade, and Politics: Exchange between the United States and Mexican Cattle Industries, 1870-1947
This article analyzes the livestock exchange between the United States and Mexico, beginning with the initial surge in regular trade in the 1870s until its interruption caused by the outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease in 1947. Since the final two decades of the nineteenth century, cattle raising in both countries became increasingly intertwined through commerce. Though this trade was clearly international, as it entailed crossing a political bor…
El intercambio en la frontera norte de México: Comercio Internacional en Ámbito Regional (1850-1884)
En las últimas décadas del siglo xix, Estados Unidos se tornó el principal socio comercial de México. En este proceso los estados del norte mexicano, por su posición geográfica, jugaron un papel crucial, mismo que fue consolidado a partir del establecimiento del entramado ferrocarrilero. Sin embargo, este hecho no constituyó una novedad, más bien vino a confirmar una tendencia histórica relativa al intercambio que había existido en la región ante…
