Feeding Desire: Fatness, Beauty and Sexuality Among a Saharan People
This is a very readable text, at times almost a 'travel' book, with wonderfully written descriptions that will also appeal to a non-academic readership. Although the theoretical and methodological discussions are quite seamlessly integrated, there is no question that this is a scholarly work. Popendoe's research is thorough, her analysis comprehensive, and the result is a most interesting and welcome contribution to social studies of the body.–The Canadian Review of Sociology and Anthropology
