What we don't talk about when we talk about fat / Aubrey Gordon. by Gordon, Aubrey, author. Boston : Beacon Press, [2020] Subjects Obesity -- Social aspects -- United States.   Overweight persons -- United States -- Social conditions.   Discrimination against overweight persons -- United States. ISBN:  9780807041307 (hardcover) : 0807041300 (hardcover) : Description:  197 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm Contents:  Into thin air -- Becoming an epidemic -- What thinness takes -- On concern and choice -- The desirability myth -- Such a pretty face -- First, do no harm -- The world to come. Requests:  0 Summary:  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   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 362.19639 Go Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 616.398 Gordon Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.19639 Go Checked In Add Copy to MyList
