To live in a fat, Black body is to be hyper-policed and derided by society. Da'Shaun Harrison, a fat, Black, disabled, and nonbinary writer, explores the myriad harms of anti-fat anti-Blackness. From state-sanctioned violence to medical discrimination, this incisive work lays bare the injustices faced by the Black fat, while offering strategies to dismantle a world built on their subjugation.
