It's the one part of your body you've never really seen, while everyone walking behind you has. This is a cultural history of the human rear, from ancient statues and lab experiments on how we recognise people by their walk, to bustles, pin-ups and the long stretch when men's bottoms went unremarked.
Then it gets to the modern part: Baby Got Back, twerking, the Kardashian magazine cover, cosmetic surgery and social media feeds. It takes the looks seriously, and the race and class history behind them even more so.
What you get: a ZIP file containing the book as a PDF (194 pages) and an EPUB, so you can read it on a computer, tablet or e-reader.
