Victor Villas reviewed Butts: A Backstory by Heather Radke
Food for Thoughts
4 stars
I always knew butts were no exception to "everything is political", but Radke demonstrates how they are very much political. The writing style, the chronological ordering, tying up everything nicely with some criticism and just a small but healthy amount of personal experience from the author. All around a good read about how the history of beauty is so connected to the histories of race and gender.
