Discover the surprising cultural history behind our fascination with butts in Heather Radke’s “Butts: A Backstory.” This “winning, cheeky, and illuminating” (The Washington Post) exploration delves into how this unique human body part has shaped centuries of art, evolution, desire, and societal ideals. From 19th-century performances to modern fitness trends and the complex roles of women of color like Sarah Bartmann and Jennifer Lopez, Radke uncovers how our obsession with butts reveals deeper truths about race, power, liberation, and our personal sense of self. “Lively and thorough,” this book is a must-read for anyone interested in cultural history and the stories our bodies tell.
