Fat Shame: Stigma and the Fat Body in American Culture by Amy Erdman Farrell

5.0

Although a slim book, this is a great introduction into the field of Fat Studies. The writing flows well, and incorporates history, feminism, advertising, in addition to medicine into the discussion of how America became so obsessed with hating fat bodies. To me, this book ties together a lot of the other discussions I've read in older Fat Studies books.
