Recenzii
"Sure to become a classic of urban ethnography. A powerful and much needed account of the way in which older people respond to and negotiate change within urban communities. The research challenges views which present older people as 'victims' of global change, providing a highly nuanced description of both the perceived challenges of migration, but also the positive ways in which it is incorporated into new ways of adapting to social change."
"Molly George’s book beautifully upends common assumptions about the widespread racism among elderly white Americans, Brits, and New Zealanders, offering a much more nuanced portrait of how ethnicity and migration are viewed by older generations. Examining everyday interactions between long-term residents and newcomers, Aging in a Changing World challenges stereotypical views of what it means to 'age in place' when places, and the people who occupy them, are in fact ever-changing. The result is a thought-provoking examination of multiculturalism as lived experience for the elderly."
Descriere
Aging in a Changing World challenges simplified images of old people as racist, nostalgic, and resistant to change – stereotypes that have only grown more prevalent with the Brexit vote and the 2016 election of Donald Trump. This book takes a deep, nuanced look at the experiences of older people who, while “aging in place,” have been profoundly impacted by global population movement and the dramatic development of modern multiculturalism around them.
