A graphic essay that humorously and intelligently questions the construction of esthetic norms regarding buttocks throughout history.

In a graphic essay that is as funny as it is rigorous, author Erell Hannah and illustrator Fred Cham examine a part of the anatomy whose perception has radically changed over the centuries, in order to better explore the history of representations of the body. Drawing on numerous studies by biologists, philosophers, historians, and sociologists, as well as references from pop culture, this liberating graphic novel questions the social construction of normality and pathology, gendered beauty standards, and the relationship that the West maintains with racialized bodies.
