About this work

Description

"The phenomenon of bootyfication exists in many contexts, as varied as the exploitation of the body in colonialism to 90s hip-hop culture. Post-Butt analyses the virility of images in our mediated society. More rounded than that though, it's a case study around the image of female butts, bootys, and behinds, and their influence in media, society and art."--Provided by publisher.
