Deconstructing the Fitness Industrial Complex: How to Resist, Disrupt, and Reclaim What It Means to Be Fit in American Culture by Justice Williams, Roc Rochon, Lawrence Koval
5.0
Planning to write a more comprehensive review later, but this was a great mix of academic and personal narrative essays. The academic ones were written with language higher on the accessibility scale than average and the narratives had clear stories with personal tellings that really drew me in and allowed me to relate and understand. I'm always in a scary mix of things regarding my body from mental health to physical illness to being trans and I felt included in this book. I think the conversation could reach much further- especially in regards to disabilities outside of chronic illness- so i hope they put out more. This is almost like a set of intro or intermediate essays about new ways of seeing "fitness" and such.
