In the process, he covers everything from the manufacturing collapse that has crippled the Midwest to the biofuels revolution that may save it, and from the school districts struggling with new immigrants to the Iowa meatpacking towns that can't survive without them. The results, which are often surprising, add up to a portrait of a vast and influential segment of America's economy and culture that goes almost entirely ignored in the national media" --Dust jacket. 000324767 650_0 $$aGlobalization$$xEconomic aspects$$zMiddle West. 000324767 650_0 $$aGlobalization$$xSocial aspects$$zMiddle West. 000324767 650_0 $$aPolitical culture$$zMiddle West. 000324767 650_0 $$aCulture and globalization$$zUnited States. 000324767 651_0 $$aMiddle West$$xEconomic conditions. 000324767 651_0 $$aMiddle West$$xSocial conditions. 000324767 85200 $$bgen$$hHC107.A14$$iL66$$i2008 000324767 85642 $$3Contributor biographical information$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0837/2008275354-b.html 000324767 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0837/2008275354-d.html 000324767 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:324767$$pGLOBAL_SET 000324767 980__ $$aBIB 000324767 980__ $$aBOOK
