Tóm tắt

"This book explores and explodes common representations and experiences of American fitness. It takes women's experiences as the center of inquiry toward an understanding of the function of fitness in our lives. This book considers a broad range of topics from an interdisciplinary perspective: generations, cultural appropriation, community development, art choreography, methodology, healing, and social justice"-- Provided by publisher.
