Abstract

The Great Resignation represented a shift in employee attitudes toward work. While many workers sought new employment, some workers are increasingly withdrawing from work altogether. This article explores the unique ways in which Black women are adopting an anti-work stance and creating post-work experiences for themselves. Using qualitative content analysis of the works of writer, author, and activist Tricia Hersey and content creator and public intellectual Stephanie Perry, the article identifies three core elements of the emerging Black women’s anti-work movement and three popular pathways that reflect Black women’s post-work choices. The article also considers the ways in which Black women’s contemporary post-work philosophies represent a shift away from collective action and policy intervention and a shift toward individual responses to the problem of work.
你不会打碎我的灵魂:当代黑人妇女的反工作哲学和工作后经历
大辞职代表了员工对工作态度的转变。在许多工人寻求新工作的同时,一些工人越来越多地完全退出工作。本文探讨了黑人女性采取反工作立场并为自己创造后工作体验的独特方式。通过对作家、作者和活动家特里西娅-赫西(Tricia Hersey)以及内容创作者和公共知识分子斯蒂芬妮-佩里(Stephanie Perry)的作品进行定性内容分析,文章确定了新兴黑人妇女反工作运动的三个核心要素,以及反映黑人妇女工作后选择的三种流行途径。文章还探讨了黑人妇女的当代后工作哲学如何从集体行动和政策干预转向个人对工作问题的回应。
