Fearing the Black Body: The Racial Origins of Fat Phobia by Sabrina Strings
challenging
dark
informative
slow-paced
4.0
Extremely educational, but definitely agree w some of the other reviews about how it can be a bit dry to keep up with and how it focuses quite a bit on white bodies (which comes from explaining how the controlling of white women's bodies came from from the fear/degredation of black women's bodies, but still nonetheless focuses on white women the most)
Graphic: Body shaming, Fatphobia, Racism, Sexism, Slavery, Colonisation, and Classism
Moderate: Medical trauma
