Wayward Lives, Beautiful Experiments

Sobre o livro

"Wayward Lives, Beautiful Experiments" explores the revolutionary black intimate life in early 20th-century Philadelphia and New York. Young black women challenged societal norms by creating unconventional forms of intimacy and kinship, redefining notions of freedom, marriage, and work. Through a blend of history and literary imagination, the book honors these women for shaping a cultural movement that transformed urban landscapes. Their radical aspirations and insurgent desires are brought to light in this beautifully written and deeply researched work, shedding new light on a forgotten history.
