In recent years, "fat" has emerged as a shared anchor in defining who belongs and is valued versus who does not and is not. The stigma surrounding weight transcends many social, cultural, political, and economic divides. The concern over body image shapes not only how we see ourselves, but also how we talk, interact, and fit into our social networks, communities, and broader society. This Fat in Four Cultures is a co-authored comparative ethnography that reveals the shared struggles and local distinctions of how people across the globe are coping with a bombardment of anti-fat near constant messages that they cannot be overweight. Highlighting important differences in how people experience "being fat," the cases in this book are based on fieldwork by five anthropologists working together, simultaneously, in four different sites across the globe: Japan, the United States, Paraguay, and Samoa. Through these cases, Fat in Four Cultures considers what insights can be gained through systematic, cross-cultural comparison. Written in a highly eye-opening accessible, narrative-driven style, with key terms clearly defined and consistently used, this book effectively explores a series of fundamental questions about the present and future of fat and obesity."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 650 0 $a Obesity $v Cross-cultural studies. 650 0 $a Body image $v Cross-cultural studies. 650 0 $a Stigma (Social psychology) $v Cross-cultural studies. 700 1 $a Brewis, Alexandra, $e author. 700 1 $a Hardin, Jessica A., $e author. 700 1 $a Trainer, Sarah, $e author. 700 1 $a Wutich, Amber, $e author. 830 0 $a Teaching culture. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117031447.0 952 $l OPAX566 $d 20221008011659.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8FF99AB446CE11EDAEABB6A229ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b UIRInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
