YoungGiftedandFat is a critical autoethnography of "performing
thin"- on the stage and in life. Sharrell D. Luckett's story of
weight loss and gain and playing the (beautiful, desirable, thin)
leading lady showcases an innovative and interdisciplinary approach
to issues of weight and self-esteem, performance, race, and gender.
Sharrell structures her project with creative text, interviews,
testimony, journal entries, dialogues, monologues, and deep
theorizing through and about the abundance of flesh. She explores
the politics of Black culture, and particularly the intersections
of her lived and embodied experiences. Her body and body
transformation becomes a critical praxis to evidence fat as a
feminist issue, fat as a Black-girl-woman issue, and fat as an
ideological construct that is as much on the brain as it is on the
body. YoungGiftedandFat is useful to any area of research or course
offering taking up questions of size politics at the intersections
of race and sexuality.
