Gå med i LibraryThing för att få reda på om du skulle tycka om den här boken. Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. I kept putting this book down to go look up the things the essayists were talking about, that's how good and helpful this book is. It's mind-blowing, even if you're aware of fat activism already, when you really take the plunge and start reading unapologetic fats sharing stories like yours and talking about how they started down their path of liberation. Highly recommended. ( ) I enjoyed the different perspectives that this book had to offer. The women had very different experiences with their weight throughout their lives. Some gave messages of positivity, some admitted they still struggle with accepting their weight. But the overall message of this book was to love yourself and your body, no matter your size or shape. We do live in a society that prizes a very specific body shape and to be outside that "norm" can be very difficult for many people. I think many of us struggle to accept our body type and this book was a great start as far as inspiration and assistance with loving what you've got. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
In this fun, fresh, fat-positive anthology, fat activist and sex educator Virgie Tovar brings together voices from an often-marginalized community to talk about and celebrate their lives. Hot & Heavy rejects the idea that being thin is best, instead embracing the many fabulous aspects of being fat,building fat-positive spaces, putting together fat-friendly wardrobes, turning society's rules into personal politics, and creating supportive, inclusive communities. Writers, activists, performers, and poets,including April Flores, Alysia Angel, Charlotte Cooper, Jessica Judd, Emily Anderson, Genne Murphy, and Tigress Osborn,cover everything from fat go-go dancing to queer dating to urban gardening in their essays, exploring their experiences with the word fat," pinpointing particular moments that have impacted the way they think and feel about their bodies, and telling the story of how they each became fat revolutionaries. ground-breaking and long overdue, Hot & Heavy is a fierce, sassy, thoughtful, authentic, and joyous collection of stories about unapologetically,and unconditionally,loving the body you're in.
