About this product
Product Information
Using an intersectional approach, Marriage, Divorce, and Distress in Northeast Brazil explores rural, working-class, black Brazilian women's perceptions and experiences of courtship, marriage and divorce. In this book, women's narratives of marriage dissolution demonstrate the ways in which changing gender roles and marriage expectations associated with modernization and globalization influence the intimate lives and the health and well being of women in Northeast Brazil. Melanie A. Medeiros explores the women's rich stories of desire, love, respect, suffering, strength, and transformation.

This innovative study illuminates Afro-Brazilian women's experiences in the realms of intimacy, marriage, and divorce. An important contribution!, New Books Network - News Books in Latin American Studies podcast interview with Melanie A. Medeiros https://newbooksnetwork.com/melanie-a-madeiros-marriage-divorce-and-distress-in-northeast-brazil-black-womens-perspectives-on-love-respect-and-kinship-rutgers-up-2018/, "Chronicle of Higher Education 'New Scholarly Books' Weekly Book List, August 31, 2018," compiled by Nina C. Ayoub, From the opening vignette, this vibrant, conceptually sophisticated, and yet accessible ethnography draws us into the contested terrain of intimate relations and divorce in Northeast Brazil. Medeiros skillfully depicts the voices and experiences of rural, working-class women of African descent, helping us see how their lives are shaped both by their own strivings and by forces as diverse as telenovelas and ecotourism. Her work represents a valuable contribution to the emerging anthropology of divorce as well as to work on emotion, gender, race, class, companionate marriage, social suffering, and even the anthropology of tourism.

There are two rather expensive books I’d wanted about the Medici. This one and Kent’s Cosimo I de’ Medici and the Florentine Renaissance. The Medici Portraits and Politics is exactly what I’d hoped for. It is in pristine condition, was well packaged and came quickly. Couldn’t be more pleased.
