Belly of the Beast

Da'Shaun Harrison's "Belly of the Beast" delves into the intersection of anti-fatness and anti-Blackness, challenging the dominant narratives within fat studies.

The book critiques the compartmentalization of identities and experiences within academic disciplines.

Harrison argues that anti-fatness is inherently linked to anti-Blackness, rooted in historical systems of oppression.

The work explores the violence inflicted upon Black fat bodies through policing, medical systems, and societal structures.

Ultimately, "Belly of the Beast" calls for a radical reimagining of liberation that goes beyond traditional abolitionist frameworks.
