520 |a Kristy Nabhan-Warren spent more than seven years interviewing native-born Iowa residents and recent migrants from Latin America, Africa and Asia alike. In Meatpacking America, she portrays the gritty realities of a Midwest that is a global hub for migration and food production, and also for religion. Here, Protestants, Catholics and Muslims share space every day as worshippers, employees and employers. Speaking from the bloody floors of meatpacking plants, bustling places of worship and modest homes across vast flatlands dotted with confined animal feeding operations and processing plants, both native born and newly arrived Iowans explain their passion for religious faith and desire to work hard for their families. At the same time, their stories reveal how faith-based aspirations for mutual understanding blend uneasily with rampant economic exploitation of migrants and common racial biases.
