When Upton Sinclair wrote this book in the early 1900's, he was trying to bring attention to the fact that millions of immigrants living in urban areas were working at jobs that were extremely unsafe. This included descriptions of the disgusting work conditions that many immigrants faced in Chicago's meatpacking industry. Graphic details about the process in which companies made meat were outlined, but were not necessarily the focal point of the book.
