Julia's anxiety about being transgressive fosters her desire to belong to a community characterized by Black women's culture and their sense of place. Her quest for a place in society highlights the segregated community's need for a specifically Black space. Wedding Band complicates the interlocking system of oppression by addressing the notion of place and also demonstrates that Black women are not passive in respect to their surroundings. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Literary Criticism src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of Modern Literature is the property of Indiana University Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
