Qualitative in-depth interviews with 30 African-American women were conducted to examine the contemporary meanings of leisure within the context of lifelong work histories. Respondents followed a pattern of unpaid agricultural work in childhood, paid work in mostly domestic and service jobs as adults, and volunteer work in church and senior centers as retirees. The women continued their history of self-reliance by incorporating their lifetime of hard work into their leisure experiences and service to self and others in old age.
对30名非裔美国女性进行了定性深入访谈，以考察在终身工作经历背景下休闲的当代意义。受访者呈现出这样一种模式：童年从事无薪农业工作，成年后大多从事家政和服务类带薪工作，退休后在教堂和老年中心从事志愿工作。这些女性通过将一生的辛勤工作融入到休闲体验以及老年时对自己和他人的服务中，延续了自力更生的历史。
