“EDs = Social Justice Cause (Body Empowerment 50)” - Originally posted January 16, 2012 on YouTube.com.
In honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, this video discusses eating disorders (prevention, awareness, recovery, etc.) as a social justice cause.
It includes an excerpt of Dr. King’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail” - http://www.stanford.edu/group/King/frequentdocs/birmingham.pdf
This video also mentions the Eating Disorder Activists Network: http://edactivistnetwork.org/
The problem I keep seeing is that recovery and recovered are social constructs, not an essentialist gesture towards something with inherent meaning – thus when we talk about things by a “word” we get into identity politics rather than a conversation about what someone’s every day life is like.
