"Gewertz and Errington unpack the aspirations and anxieties, calculations and controversies that inhabit an inexpensive cut of fatty meat. By following the trail of sheep bellies from slaughterhouses in Australia and New Zealand to the plates of Pacific Islanders, they map a material economy held together by a nutritionally dubious and morally ambiguous consumer good.Cheap Meatprovides a startling view of how global food markets unequally and unevenly shape the bodies and identities of people everywhere."--Robert J. Foster, author ofCoca-Globalization: Following Soft Drinks from New York to New Guinea
