Fearing the Black Body: The Racial Origins of Fat Phobia by Sabrina Strings

challenging informative reflective medium-paced

5.0

Another one for the Non-Fiction Favorites/Recommend to Everyone/Hi My Name Is Kylie Have You Read This Book list. I feel like I'm a broken record when I comes to non-fiction, but the truth is that I just don't read non-fic unless it centers topics that I am passionate about, so I generally find myself rating it very highly. Fearing the Black Body is an exploration of racism and fatphobia, the examination (and eradication) of which are central to the philosophy of body liberation, which I follow. I could gush about this book for days, but it really does speak for itself. A stunning academic work that is also very accessible and unbiased.
