Weighty Problems

Many parents, teachers, and doctors believe that childhood obesity is a social problem that needs to be solved. Yet, missing from debates over what caused the rise in childhood obesity and how to fix it are the children themselves. By investigating how contemporary cultural discourses of childhood obesity are experienced by children, Laura Backstrom illustrates how deeply fat stigma is internalized during the early socialization experiences of children. Weighty Problems details processes of embodied inequality: how the children came to recognize inequalities related to their body size, how they explained the causes of those differences, how they responded to micro-level injustices in their lives, and how their participation in a weight loss program impacted their developing self-image. The book finds that embodied inequality is constructed and negotiated through a number of interactional processes including resocialization, stigma management, social comparisons, and attribution.
In His Lyrics
“In His Lyrics” is a deeply personal memoir that offers a window into the stark realities of a family grappling with addiction, mental health issues, chronic homelessness, and a life of crime to support it. It’s a story that contrasts the outwardly normal childhood of Ashton, known for his friendliness and adventurous spirit, with the hidden struggles he faced, leading to extreme behavior and life on the streets by the age of fourteen. The only constant in Ashton’s life was the company of voices and hallucinations that plagued his mind. The book delves into the turmoil that Ashton’s actions brought upon his family, detailing their journey through despair, fear, and helplessness. It highlights the isolation and judgment they faced and the personal spaces they retreated to in hopes to cope with the chaos that became their reality. The shattered dreams of a close-knit family are laid bare, as the narrative unfolds from the perspective of Ashton’s mother. Through its candid and vulnerable storytelling, “In His Lyrics” sheds light on the complex interplay between addiction, mental health, and criminal behavior, while also exploring the emotional responses of parents and a sibling to a loved one’s psychosis. This memoir doesn’t shy away from the raw and often unfiltered experiences of a family enduring what many would consider their worst nightmare, providing a poignant insight into their collective struggle and resilience.
Diets and Dieting
Diets and dieting have concerned – and sometimes obsessed – human societies for centuries. The dieters' regime is about many things, among them the control of weight and the body, the politics of beauty, discipline and even self-harm, personal and societal demands for improved health, spiritual harmony with the universe, and ethical codes of existence. In this innovative reference work that spans many periods and cultures, the acclaimed cultural and medical historian Sander L. Gilman lays out the history of diets and dieting in a fascinating series of articles.
