Summary: Brilliant Reading
Comment: French anthropologist Vialles takes us into the depths of the mystifying--and often horrifying--French abattoir's and shows us how our culture has constructed an industry that transforms an animal into meat. The mystery of the work is complicit in "creating" something completely divorced from the living being that has entered the abattoirs doors. This book is not only a knowing reading of how meat is produced, but a piece of Foucault-inspired intellectual history that speaks volumes about the kind of mentality required to keep our society the smooth and modern machine that it is.
