In Dead Weight, Emmeline Clein tells the story of her own disordered eating alongside and through other women from history, pop culture and the girls she's known and loved. Tracing the medical and cultural history of Anorexia, Bulimia, and Orthorexia, Clein investigates the economic conditions underpinning our eating disorder epidemic, and illuminates the ways racism and today's feminism have been complicit in propping up the thin ideal. While examining GOOP, Simone Weil, pro-anorexia blogs, and the flawed logic of our current methods of treatment, Clein also grapples with the myriad ways disordered eating has affected her own friendships and romantic relationships. Dead Weight makes the case that we are faced with a culture of suppression and denial that is insidious, pervasive, and dangerous, one that internalizes and promotes the fetish of self-shrinking as a core tenet of the American cult of femininity. This is replicated in our algorithms, our television shows, our novels, and our relationships with each other. A sharp, perceptive, and revelatory polemic for readers fascinated by the external forces shaping our lives, Dead Weight is electrifying, unapologetically bold, and fiercely compassionate"--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hanapepe Public Library Adult Nonfiction 616.8526 Cl Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Adult New Books 616.8526 Cl Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 616.8526 Clein Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 616.8526 Cl Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 616.8526 Cl Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 616.8526 Cl Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order   in Processing Add Copy to MyList
