Is The Body Is Not an Apology Worth Reading?
The Power of Radical Self-Love
Ada’s Score
Sonya Renee Taylor's electrifying manifesto argues that the way we treat our own bodies is the foundation of all social justice — and that radical self-love is the most subversive act available to us. Drawing on her own experiences as a Black, queer activist and performer, Taylor dismantles the systems of body shame embedded in race, gender, disability, and size. The book provides both a searing analysis of internalized oppression and practical pathways toward healing and solidarity. Warm, urgent, and intellectually bold, it is essential reading for anyone who has ever made peace with — or war against — their own body.
“Taylor writes with the force of lived truth — this book rewires how you see yourself and everyone around you.”
