Description
"From the creator of Your Fat Friend, an explosive indictment on the systemic and cultural issues facing plus-sized people that will move us toward creating an agenda for fat justice"--
Description
To be fat is considered far more than a health concern: overweight people can be denied doctors' services or jobs, are mocked on airplanes, are the punchline of jokes. Gordon unearths the cultural attitudes and social systems that have led to people being denied basic needs because they are fat and calls for social justice movements to be inclusive of plus-sized people's experiences. She pushes the discussion towards authentic fat activism, which includes ending legal weight discrimination, giving equal access to health care for large people, increased access to public spaces, and ending anti-fat violence. -- adapted from jacket
