This collection of essays examines obesity not as anobjectivemedical or psychological problem, but as asubjectivesocial and cultural phenomenon. The contributors take a cross-cultural perspective, examining both the negative casting of obesity in developed countries and the traditional view of obesity as a positive characteristic in subsistence societies which is threatened by the dominance of Western culture.
