Abstract:
"The Routledge International Handbook of Fat Studies brings together a diverse body of work from around the globe and across a wide range of fat studies topics and perspectives. The first major collection of its kind, it explores the epistemology, ontology and methodology of fatness, with attention to issues such as gender and sexuality, disability and embodiment, health, race, media, discrimination and pedagogy. Presenting work from both scholarly writers and activists, this volume reflects a range of critical perspectives vital to the expansion of fat studies and thus constitutes an essential resource for researchers in the field"--
