Belly of the Beast: The Politics of Anti-Fatness as Anti-Blackness by Da’Shaun Harrison

informative medium-paced

4.0

I tasked myself with trying to unlearned all of the harm things I was exposed to growing about body image and sexuality. This book really help me reflect on all of the anti-blackness that happen within my own community growing up in a black household. Growing up my relationship with food was different especially how my parents feed into diet culture and attractiveness base on weight. I am so happy I took the time to read this book and got a better understanding how anti-fatness and anti-blackness play a role in some of the language I used in the past. I look forward to reading more books like this and unlearn more harmful things. This book is go needed and appreciated.
