Description
For radical twentieth-century feminists, it was a rallying cry for bodily autonomy and political power. For influencers and lifestyle brands, itâ?Ts buying fancy nutrition and body products at a premium. And it has now infiltrated nearly every food, leisure, and pop-culture space as a multi-billion-dollar industry. What is it? To quote a million memes: itâ?Ts called self-care. In Decolonize Self-CareA Alyson K. Spurgas andA ZoA« C. Meleo-Erwin deliver a comprehensive sociological analysis and scathing critique of the catchphraseâ?Ts capitalist, racist undertones. To decolonize self-care, they argue, requires a full reckoning with the exclusionary, appropriative nature of most of the wellness industry, but this education is only the first step in the process. We must commit to new models of care and well-being that allow for health, pleasure, and communityâ?"for everyone.
