Title is wholly misleading. It should have been named “Origins of Fatphobia: the influences of race and religion on bodies and weight”.

Part 2 hardly comments at all about black peoples and their bodies. It’s in this part that I believe the author loses her theme a bit, focusing too much on extraneous details about race almost exclusively within the continent of Europe, and white races. It’s a lot of interesting information, but doesn’t tie into the theme the author is trying to make, which is that fatphobia stems from anti-blackness.
