Charlotte Cooper, a fat activist with around 30 years experience, answers this question by lifting the lid on a previously unexplored social movement and offering a fresh perspective on one of the major problems of our times. In her expansive grassroots study she: reveals details of fat activist methods and approaches and explodes myth; charts extensive accounts of international fat activist historical roots going back over four decades; explores controversies and tensions in the movement; shows that fat activism is an undeniably feminist and queer phenomenon, and explains why fat activism presents exciting possibilities for anyone interested in social justice. Combining rigorous scholarship with personal, accessible writing, this new edition of Fat Activism: A Radical Social Movement is a rare insider's view of fat people speaking about their lives and politics on their own terms."--back cover.. 650 0 $a Fat-acceptance movement. 650 0 $a Overweight persons $x Political activity. 650 0 $a Fat-acceptance movement $x History. 650 0 $a Obesity $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Body image in women $x Political aspects. 650 0 $a Body image in women $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Feminist theory. 650 0 $a Queer theory. 650 6 $a Personnes en surpoids $x ActiviteÌ politique. 650 6 $a ObeÌsiteÌ $x Aspect social. 650 6 $a Image du corps chez la femme $x Aspect politique. 650 6 $a Image du corps chez la femme $x Aspect social. 650 6 $a TheÌorie feÌministe. 650 6 $a TheÌorie queer. 650 7 $a Queer theory. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01739572 650 7 $a Obesity $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01042759 650 7 $a Feminist theory. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00922816 650 7 $a Body image in women $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00835364 650 7 $a Fat-acceptance movement. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01909550 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781910849323 941 $a 1 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20231021031828.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C4BC02686FD711EE93D6B80232ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
