TW: Police brutality, murder of fat Black people
Belly of the Beast : The Politics of Anti-Fatness as Anti-Blackness is a short book but it's still really powerful. There was a chapter on policing the fat Black body and police brutality that I had to skip for my own mental health, as I have a personal fear of police brutality after suffering from traumatic events at the hands of police. I can't say much about that chapter because I didn't finish it, however , the rest of the book was really good.
I wish there was a list of trigger warnings somewhere in the book, that was my only issue
I'm giving this a 4.5 out of 5 stars.
