The Love Jones Cohort : Single and Living Alone in the Black Middle Class Paperback / softback
by Kris (University of Maryland, College Park) Marsh
Part of the Cambridge Studies in Stratification Economics: Economics and Social Identity series
Paperback / softback
Description
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.
