Review:
"An eye-opening history about how fatness obtained its stigma in the US. Provocative and illuminating, Farrell unearths fat's associations with whiteness, citizenship, feminism, and civilization. "Fat Shame" will interest scholars of the history and sociology of body politics and those involved in projects of the self, as well as readers who can't help but wonder, 'When did we start hating fatness? And why?' Farrell has penned a new classic." -Kathleen LeBesco, author of "Revolting Bodies? The Struggle to Redefine Fat Identity"
