Rezensionen
"...the scholars of The Routledge International Handbook of Fat Studies take their readers by the hand and show them where they can find a place of their own within a necessary and essential field of study and activism. In adding this text to the fat canon, I believe, along with Pausé and Taylor, that the 'future of Fat Studies is very fat' (13)." - Ashlen Cheyenne Duhon, Fat Studies
