Using Anthony Giddens' concept of Structuration in the make-up of ideology, the book identifies how fat acceptance activists use signification, domination, and legitimation to strengthen their cause. Thus, their actions are both rhetorical and tactical. \u003cbr\u003eFat--considered a descriptor and not a negative label among activists--is highly stigmatized for arbitrary reasons in various areas of life ranging from the fashion industry to health care. This books shows how fat acceptance activists work to remedy this situation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Erec Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1498531164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781498531160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lexington Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/23\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 114\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2019","brand":"Erec Smith","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44410707869951,"sku":"9781498531160","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_07923df4-f8b9-4c2f-916b-f72d1d7955b4.jpg?v=1697537401","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fat-tactics-erec-smith-9781498531160","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
