Description

This fascinating book explores the many ways in which cultures throughout history have shaped and distorted the human form, through practices such as foot-binding, neck stretching, and corset-wearing. The authors argue that these practices reflect deeper cultural values and beliefs, and shed light on the ways in which societies impose their will on the body. A must-read for anyone interested in the history of fashion and body modification. This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
