DESCRIPTION:Drawing from stratification economics\, intersectionality. res
 pectability politics\, The Love Jones Cohort centers on the voices and lif
 estyles of members of the Black middle class who are single and living alo
 ne (SALA).  \n\nWhile much has been written about both the Black middle cl
 ass and the rise of singlehood\, this book represents a first foray into b
 ridging these two concepts. In studying these intersections\, The Love Jon
 es Cohort provides a more nuanced understanding of how race\, gender\, cla
 ss\, coupled with social structures\, shape five central lifestyle factors
  of Black middle class adults who are SALA.  \n\nThe book explores how the
 se Black adults define family and friends and decide on whether and how to
  pursue romantic relationships\, articulate the ebbs and flows of being Bl
 ack and middle class\, select where to live and why\, accumulate and disse
 minate wealth\, maintain overall health\, well-being and coping mechanisms
 . \n\nThe Love Jones Cohort: Single and Living Alone in the Black Middle C

 Identity). Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.
