Animal to Edible by Noilie Vialles
Noelie Vialles's study of abattoirs in south-west France describes a complex system of avoidances. She reveals that beyond the specific denial of the work of the abattoirs lives a whole system of symbolic representations of blood, human beings and animals, a symbolic code that determines the way in which we prepare domestic animals for the table.
..a truly fascinating piece of history and ethnography....This book is not for the faint of heart, but it is an excellent work on a subject which has much more to it than meets the eye. Richard Lobban, Anthrozooes
