[A] fascinating and exhaustive study...An excellent storyteller, Fleischman has produced a very well-written book that will be useful togeneral readers and specialists alike., An inspiring, well-researched volume that will hopefully serve to nudge GDR history out of its niche. Much of GDR history does not really care about the world beyond East Germany's boundaries, and Fleischman shows that this is not for lack of rewarding context., Remarkably well-written and accessible to a variety of audiences. . . Fleischman's monograph makes a highly original and much-needed contribution not only to the field of environmental history, but also to the history of East Germany, communism and the Cold War.

Synopsis
The pig played a key role in the German Democratic Republic's attempts to create a modern, industrial food system built on communist principles. By the mid-1980s, East Germany produced more pork per capita than West Germany and the UK, while also suffering the unintended consequences of manure pollution, animal disease, and rolling food shortages. The pig is a highly adaptive animal, and Thomas Fleischman uncovers three types of pig that played roles in this history: the industrial pig, remade to suit the conditions of factory farming; the wild boar, whose overpopulation was a side effect of agricultural development; and the garden pig, reflective of the regime's growing acceptance of private farming within the planned economy. Fleischman chronicles East Germany's journey from family farms to factory farms, explaining how communist principles shaped the adoption of industrial agriculture practices. More broadly, Fleischman argues that agriculture under communism came to reflect the practices of capitalist agriculture, and that the pork industry provides a clear illustration of this convergence. His analysis sheds light on the causes of the country's environmental and political collapse in 1989 and offers a warning about the high cost of cheap food in the present and future. Communist Pigs was a finalist for the Turku Book Award, European Society for Environmental History.

- 8***k (1)- Feedback gegeven door koper.Afgelopen maandGeverifieerde aankoopMy item never arrived and the seller would not refund me unless they received the item back. I have contacted ebay to step in. It is certainly not the seller's fault that the item was lost in the mail, but as the buyer, I deserve a refund, especially as a student who has needed this book for a month now and have not received it. Very disappointing experience.
