In recent years, \"fat\" has emerged as a shared anchor in defining who belongs and is valued versus who does not and is not. The stigma surrounding weight transcends many social, cultural, political, and economic divides. The concern over body image shapes not only how we see ourselves, but also how we talk, interact, and fit into our social networks, communities, and broader society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eFat in Four Cultures\u003c\/i\u003e is a co-authored comparative ethnography that reveals the shared struggles and local distinctions of how people across the globe are coping with a bombardment of anti-fat messages.
