| Sumario: | "Domestic Contradictions is a comparative historical analysis of racialized constructions of gendered citizenship in Reconstruction Era efforts to curb female vagrancy and late twentieth century welfare reform. Priya Kandaswamy draws on original archival research and builds on Black feminist and queer of color approaches to highlight similarities between how the Freedmen's Bureau employed marriage promotion and compulsory labor contracts to control Black women after emancipation and the ways marriage promotion and workfare were central tenets of late twentieth century anti-welfare discourse that culminated in the passage of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act in 1996"--Publisher's description. "Priya Kandaswamy brings together two crucial moments in welfare history--the advent of the Freedmen's Bureau during Reconstruction and the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996--to show how they each targeted Black women through negative stereotyping and normative assumptions about gender, race, and citizenship."-- |
