The Pauli Murray Center's January 2022 book club discussion will be on Belly of the Beast: The Politics of Anti-Fatness as Anti-Blackness by Da'Shaun Harrison.

Belly of the Beast is a brief but powerful and informative book. Taking on desirability politics, f*ckability, healthism, hyper-sexualization, invisibility, and the connections between anti-fatness and police violence, Harrison viscerally and vividly illustrates the myriad harms of anti-fat anti-Blackness–and offers strategies for dismantling denial, unlearning the cultural programming that says “fat is bad,” and moving beyond the world we have now toward one that makes space for the fat and Black.

We will hold our discussion on Wednesday, January 26th from 6:30 to 7:30 PM (EST) on Zoom. To attend, please register in advance at bit.ly/PMCJAN22BOOK.
