During the past half century, marriage has declined throughout American society. Among those who do marry, the wife is more likely than ever to outearn or be better educated than her husband. Why have these changes occurred? How have they shaped intimate relationships? Is Marriage for White People? answers these questions through an exploration of the lives of the Black middle class. African Americans are the most unmarried group of people in our nation. We hope that you will join us for an engaging discussion. Bring a copy of the book for personalization.
