Feeding Desire: Fatness and Beauty in the Sahara
Feeding Desire Fatness and Beauty in the Sahara
Author: Rebecca Popenoe
While in the West it is said that women can never be too thin, semi-nomadic Arabs in Niger cherish a feminine ideal of extreme fatness. Feeding Desire seeks to explain this ideal by examining it in the context of Islamic faith, local concepts of health and the body, and, not least, notions of sexuality and desire.
