Despite all the medical and media attention
focused on the rate of overweight and obesity
in the African American population, African
American images and body types are greatly
influencing changes in the fashion, fitness,
advertising, television, and movie industries.
This is because overweight, like heauty, can he
in the eye of the beholder. Most research studies
investigating attitudes ahout
hody
image and
body type among African Americans have shown
they are more satisfied with their bodies than are
their white counterparts. Most black women, for
example, are of course concerned with how they
look, hut do not judge themselves in terms of
their weight and do not believe they are valued
mostly on the
hasis
of their bodies. Black teen
girls most often say heing thick and curvaceous
with large hips and ample thighs is seen as the
most desirable body shape. Thus, there appears
to he a wider range of acceptable body shapes
and weights, and a more flexible standard of
attractiveness, among black Americans as
compared to whites. That fact is not lost on
leaders of industries that might profit from
understanding this wider range of heauty, as well
as playing to it.
Voluptuous supermodel
Tyra
Banks is just
one African American who s hroken the mold in
that industry. The effects have
heen
seen right
down to department and local clothing stores,
where lines of larger and plus-size fashions are
expanding and becoming more colorful and
more ornate. In the fitness industry, health
(Ij*
Madonna Grimes and Billy Blanks have
OlUtionizing how people get fit and how
ι
neede to be redeveloped for the African
American population. Advertising has taken
a similar turn, not the least manifestation of
which were the major campaigns Dove and
Nike ran in
2005
with plus-sized actresses
(who continue to appear in promotions for hoth
companies). In movies and on television shows,
the African American
heautiful hody
image
has followed suit.
In this hook, medical anthropologist Eric
Bailey introduces and explains the self-
acceptance and
hody
image satisfaction of
African Americans, and traces how that has
spurred changes in industry. His hook fills
the void of scientific evidence to enhance
the understanding of African Americans
perceptions related to body image and beauty
—
and is the first to document these issues from
the perspective of an African American male.
