Free love, common-law and transient marriages, queer relations, and single motherhood were among the sweeping changes that altered the character of everyday life and challenged traditional Victorian beliefs about courtship, love, and marriage. Hartman narrates the story of this radical social transformation against the grain of the prevailing century-old argument about the crisis of the black family.In wrestling with the question of what a free life is, many young black women created forms of intimacy and kinship that were indifferent to the dictates of respectability. They cleaved to and cast off lovers, exchanged sex to subsist, and revised the meaning of marriage. Longing and desire fueled their experiments in how to live. They refused to labor like slaves or to accept degrading conditions of work.Beautifully written and deeply researched, Wayward Lives re-creates the experience of young urban black women who desired an existence qualitatively different than the one that had been scripted for them-domestic service, second-class citizenship, and respectable poverty-and whose intimate revolution was apprehended as crime and pathology. 606 $aNERI$xStati Uniti d'America$xStudi$3UONC098126$2FI 620 $aUS$dNew York$3UONL000050 620 $aGB$dLondon$3UONL003044 700 1$aHARTMAN$bSaidiya$3UONV204911$0705086 712 $aNorton & Company$3UONV252598$4650 801 $aIT$bSOL$c20240220$gRICA 899 $aSIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEO$2UONSI 912 $aUON00504998 950 $aSIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEO$dSI AME VI c 8 0522 $eSI 37059 5 0522 951 $aSIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEO$bSI2021768 1J 20210203DDT n. 4604/21 del 24/5/21 996 $aWayward lives, beautiful experiments$91800110 997 $aUNIOR
