Summary

The second book by Dennis Craig Smith, "Naked Fear: Anti-Body Myths, Phobias, Delusions, and the Madness of Modesty," scrutinizes the anti-body culture of western civilization and its maintainers, encompassing a comprehensive history. The book also contains arguments about society's contradictory views on nudity, although the aggressive tone and dated content are criticized, it represents a challenging and informative read on the suppression and censorship of the human body by western colonial cultures.
