Meer over het boek

Exploring the societal perception of fat bodies, this expanded edition delves into why they are often viewed as diseased and the focus on reducing their size to meet societal norms. Incorporating the latest critical scholarship from the humanities and social sciences, it serves as both an engaging introduction for general readers and a valuable resource for students and academics interested in fat embodiment and politics. The book aims to challenge prevailing narratives and provoke thought on the complexities of body image and health.
