The pushback that shows up in conversations about fat justice takes exceedingly predicable form.
Yet, these myths are as readily debunked as they are pervasive.
In
Aubrey Gordon equips readers with the facts and figures to reframe myths about fatness in order to dismantle the anti-fat bias ingrained in how we think about and treat fat people. Bringing her dozen years of community organizing and training to bear, Gordon shares the rhetorical approaches she and other organizers employ to not only counter these pernicious myths, but to dismantle the anti-fat bias that so often underpin them.
As conversations about fat acceptance and fat justice continue to grow,
will be essential to ensure that those conversations are informed, effective, and grounded in both research and history.
