Domestic Contradictions – Race and Gendered Citizenship from Reconstruction to Welfare Reform

Autor Priya Kandaswamy
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 19 aug 2021
In Domestic Contradictions, Priya Kandaswamy analyzes how race, class, gender, and sexuality shaped welfare practices in the United States alongside the conflicting demands that this system imposed upon Black women. She turns to an often-neglected moment in welfare history, the advent of the Freedmen's Bureau during Reconstruction, and highlights important parallels with welfare reform in the late twentieth century. Kandaswamy demonstrates continuity between the figures of the "vagrant" and "welfare queen" in these time periods, both of which targeted Black women. These constructs upheld gendered constructions of domesticity while defining Black women's citizenship in terms of an obligation to work rather than a right to public resources. Pushing back against this history, Kandaswamy illustrates how the Black female body came to represent a series of interconnected dangers--to white citizenship, heteropatriarchy, and capitalist ideals of productivity --and how a desire to curb these threats drove state policy. In challenging dominant feminist historiographies, Kandaswamy builds on Black feminist and queer of color critiques to situate the gendered afterlife of slavery as central to the historical development of the welfare state.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
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.
