"""This book makes two important contributions - one to scholarship and one to pedagogy. On scholarship, this excellent comparative ethnography examines the avoirdupois pandemic at the ground level - real people, making decisions about what to eat and how that's causing the world to get fatter. On pedagogy, the authors' discussion of the methods they used for collecting and analyzing their ethnographic data is the best I've seen. Every student of ethnography should read this book.""--H. Russell Bernard, Arizona State University and University of Florida ""Fat in Four Cultures is an extraordinary work of coordinated cross-cultural comparative ethnographic research about a common health issue in the contemporary world. This talented group of medical anthropologists show that fat is not an individual medical risk factor, but rather an entanglement of complex social, economic, psychological, and health-related issues. This is a landmark contribution to the anthropological study of obesity as well as a detailed guide of how team-based anthropological research should be organized.""--Peter J. Brown, Emory University"
