Placing My Year of Meats in context may require doing research in disciplines outside of your major. OSU librarians have developed library subject guides highlighting the best sources for numerous disciplines. For example, see the Anthropology guide to explore research on housewives in Japan.
Many people are used to Google's "natural language search". However, this technique doesn't work in most library databases--instead, keywords and phrases are more useful.
Here are some keywords and phrases you may find useful (use quotes to find words together and in that order):
"meat industry"
patriarchy
consumerism
commodification
"transnational media"
"mixed race"
fertility
