Reviews
Simply put, this book is a major achievement of critical pedagogical scholarship. It should allow for many silenced academic voices related to its subject matter to come forward, critically organize, and further challenge the unjust disciplining of the body that is both the educational and political foundation of a classist, racist, sexist, gendered, ableist, speciesist, and here: lookist, social order. Absolutely necessary reading and extremely timely! (Richard Kahn, education, Antioch University Los Angeles) The Fat Pedagogy Reader is the book for which critical obesity and fat studies scholars have been waiting. The collection boasts work by leading scholars tackling weight-based oppression through education from a wide variety of perspectives. Writers in the book hail from a range of disciplines, from gender and queer studies to education to health sciences. As such, the book is essential reading for anyone attempting to 'teach fat' ethically, politically, and with passion in any educational setting. (Deborah McPhail, College of Medicine, University of Manitoba) Given the incredible harm children, youth, and adults, fat and thin, are facing at the hands of educators focused on the elimination of fat, The Fat Pedagogy Reader is a vital and needed piece of scholarship. Our education systems are hurting fat learners in the name of health and feeding society's ever-increasing fat prejudice. This book is a powerful tool in the fight against fat oppression.
