This book explores and analyzes the ways fat acceptance activists
have advocated through language and tactical action. 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. Fat-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.
