Beskrivning
Drawing from stratification economics, intersectionality, and respectability politics, The Love Jones Cohort centers on the voices and lifestyles of members of the Black middle class who are single and living alone (SALA). While much has been written about both the Black middle class and the rise of singlehood, this book represents a first foray into bridging these two concepts. In studying these intersections, The Love Jones Cohort provides a more nuanced understanding of how race, gender, and class, coupled with social structures, shape five central lifestyle factors of Black middle-class adults who are SALA. The book explores how these Black adults define family and friends and decide on whether and how to pursue romantic relationships, articulate the ebbs and flows of being Black and middle class, select where to live and why, accumulate and disseminate wealth, and maintain overall health, well-being, and coping mechanisms.

Recensioner i media

'A skillful combination of demography and qualitative interviews, The Love Jones Cohort is the defining reference on the rise and reality of Black middle-class singledom. Marsh offers a highly original take on the path to and consequences of forgoing parenting, marriage, and co-habitation. It is essential reading for scholars of the family and the Black community.' Mary Pattillo, author of Black Picket Fences: Privilege and Peril among the Black Middle Class
