Handbook of Diversity in Body Image offers a groundbreaking perspective that moves beyond conventional body image discussions. This volume explores how body image is shaped and experienced across different cultures, tracing the development of research and practical approaches from historical viewpoints to contemporary understandings. By examining diverse cultural contexts and integrating voices that have often been overlooked, the book fosters a more inclusive, nuanced comprehension of body image. Its approach encourages readers to recognize the complexities and varied influences that contribute to individual and collective perceptions of bodies around the world.

In addition to its global scope, the book provides thorough analyses of body image issues in specific populations, including racialized minority groups, LGBTQ+ communities, men, those experiencing food insecurity, and individuals from various religious backgrounds. Each chapter underscores the crucial role of intersectionality, highlighting how overlapping identities affect body image experiences.
