Unshrinking

Más información sobre el libro

Exploring the pervasive issue of fatphobia, the author shares her personal struggles with body image alongside thorough research to highlight the societal harm of size discrimination. Drawing from her experiences, she illustrates how anti-fat bias affects perceptions of attractiveness, intelligence, and worth, contributing to systemic inequalities like wage gaps and medical neglect. Advocating for a new approach called "body reflexivity," she argues for dismantling oppressive forces rather than merely promoting body positivity, aiming to reshape societal norms to embrace all body sizes.
