Marriage in Black (eBook, PDF)

The Pursuit of Married Life among American-born and Immigrant Blacks

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Despite the messages we hear from social scientists, policymakers, and the media, Black Americans do in fact get married--and many of these marriages last for decades. Considering historical influences from Antebellum slavery onward, Marriage in Black investigates contemporary married life among more than 60 couples born after the passage of the Civil Rights Act. Their stories reveal the experiences of the American-born and of Black immigrants from Africa or the Caribbean, with explorations of the "ideal" marriage, parenting, finances, work, conflict, the criminal justice system, religion, and race.
