Fearing the Black Body: The Racial Origins of Fat Phobia by Sabrina Strings
challenging
informative
medium-paced
4.0
It was very informative but I would have appreciated some summaries of the chapters, at times I was a bit lost what the point of particular stories/chapter was besides "people changed their mind all the time about what is dangerous, thinness or fatness, and anti-fatness has definitive racial origins". But I'm really glad I listened to the book and I plan to read more about the topic.
Graphic: Racism, Fatphobia, and Slavery
Moderate: Antisemitism and Misogyny
