The Jungle - In Extra Large Print Summary
|
On one level, The Jungle exposed inhumane conditions in the stockyards of Chicago. Inhumane for the workers, downright poisonous for consumers of the meat because of the utter disregard for hygiene. On another level this is a socialist tract against the inhumane treatment of workers who are considered interchangeable and disposable cogs in a capitalist machine, the book led to new laws on both worker's rights and the meatpacking industry. On still a third level, the book describes the immigrant experience at the beginning of the 20th century. This is an Enhanced Letter Format (ELF) book.
