| Popis: | This short performative essay reflects on the author’s Black mother teaching him about cultural critique, particularly as this relates to the social construction of the Black female body. The author structures his reflections and lessons learned through the construct of fat asses, weight gain, and the White feminine commodification (contortion) of Black female bounty. He uses contemporary exemplars to reinforce aspects of his mother’s lived experience as a Black woman with a full body. |
