Overview of body image messages in the media, predominantly in the UK,
By Bird That Flew (US) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Media and Body Image: If Looks Could Kill (Paperback)
This book is an overview of the various (generally negative) body image messages in the media. It's mostly about messages to women for women, but also touches in several chapters on male body images messages and their effects on boys and men. It focuses almost entirely on UK media, such as the Daily Mail and Sugar magazine. It's very heavy on eating disorders. It's thorough and has many, many citations for further reference. I bought it to aid in a thesis I have to write for a super-lame college course. It's not exactly what I needed (I hadn't realized that it was so focused on eating disorders and that there was little mention of American media sources) but it will work. If you have an interest in the connection between the media and eating disorders in women, you will likely find this book helpful.
