In Canada, the discourse on obesity emerged during a time of social upheaval in the postwar period. Contours of the Nation is the first book which historically explores obesity in Canada from a critical perspective. Deborah McPhail demonstrates how obesity as a problem was affixed to particular populations in order to separate true Canadians from others. She reveals how the articulation of obesity contributed to the Canadian colonial project in the North; where Indigenous peoples were viewed as modern Canadians due to their obesity, thereby negating any special claims to northern lands. Contours of the Nation successfully demonstrates how histories can trace the actual materialization of bodies through relations of power, particularly those pertaining to race, gender, and nation.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: CAItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmItem Width: 20mmItem Weight: 500gAuthor: Deborah McPhailGenre: HistoryTopic: Society & Culture, Gender Sex & Relationships, MedicineRelease Year: 2017 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
