Description:
Upton Sinclair's dramatic and deeply moving story exposed the ì
brutal conditions in the Chicago stockyards at the turn of the ì
nineteenth century and brought into sharp moral focus the ì
apalling odds against which immigrants and other working people ì
struggled for their share of the American dream. Denounced by the ì
conservative press as an un-American libel on the meatpacking ì
industry, the book was championed by more progressive thinkers, ì
including then president Theodore Roosevelt, and was a major ì
catalyst to the passing of the Pure Food and Meat Inspection act, ì
which has tremendous impact to this day.
