Butts: A Backstory

“Butts: A Backstory” by Heather Radke Butts is an engaging, insightful, and thoughtful investigation of why particular silhouettes come into and go out of style—as well as how broader concepts about race, control, liberation, and power affect our most intimate feelings about ourselves and others. It is part deep dive reportage, part personal journey, and part cabinet of curiosities.
