Book excerpt: Commercial Poultry Production on Maryland's Lower Eastern Shore traces the beginnings and development of commercial poultry production in this very important region. African Americans were mainly involved in poultry production on the labor supply side, which was crucial to the expansion of the industry. Commercial poultry production expanded through vertical integration, acquisitions, mergers, and consolidations and became the dominant economic activity on the Lower Maryland Eastern Shore in the 1950s. Throughout the years, the industry has intermixed with public health and the environment. These integrations were problematic on several fronts, as the industry sought to maintain a much-needed economic lifeline for the region and yet protect public health and ensure a sustainable environment at the same time. In all, commercial poultry production has continued to fuel the local economy of the Lower Maryland Eastern Shore since its inception in the 1930s.

Book excerpt: This dissertation traced the beginnings and development of commercial poultry production on the Lower Maryland Eastern Shore up to the 1990s, and the involvement of African Americans in the industry. African Americans were mainly involved in poultry production on the labor supply side, which was crucial to the expansion of the industry. After it became commercialized in the 1930s and showed great promise in the immediate post-World War II years, poultry production expanded and became the dominant economic activity on the Lower Maryland Eastern Shore from the 1950s. The industry expanded through innovative ways such as vertical integration, acquisitions, mergers, and consolidations. The industry intersected with public health and the environment. The public health implications arose from the introduction of medications in chicken feed, which negatively impacted consumers and caused poultry-borne infections and diseases such as Campylobacter, Listeria, Salmonella, E. coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In the environmental sphere, commercial poultry production led to water contamination, air pollution, and land degradation. These intersections were problematic for the industry as it attempted to balance a needed and important industry that was crucial to the economic life-wire of the region on the one hand, and on the other, protect public health and ensure a sustainable environment. Despite large profits accumulated by the industry, issues such as fair wages and working conditions dominated the interactions between the poultry industry and the workers. The result was a labor activism led by the Delmarva Poultry Justice Alliance (DPJA) and the United Food and Commercial Workers Union (UFCW) that forced poultry companies to confront and deal with the workers' issues. Their activism ultimately helped to bring about changes in wages and working conditions. Primary sources include: documents from the archives of the Delmarva Poultry Industry, Inc., Delaware Public Archives, press releases, newspaper reports, editorials and commentaries, manuscripts, private and unpublished papers, and oral testimony. Other sources of data include United States Department of Agriculture, U.S. Bureau of the Census, and Maryland Department of Planning. -- Abstract.

Book excerpt: Beginning in the jungles of Southeast Asia, trekking through the Middle East, traversing the Pacific, Lawler discovers the secrets behind the chicken's transformation from a shy, wild bird into an animal of astonishing versatility, capable of serving our species' changing needs. Across the ages, it has been an all-purpose medicine, sex symbol, gambling aid, inspiration for bravery, and of course, the star of the world's most famous joke. Only recently has it become humanity's most important single source of protein. Most surprisingly, the chicken--more than the horse, cow , or dog-- has been a remarkable constant in the sperad of civilization across the globe"--Page 4 of cover
