Age, Race and Ethnicity: A Comparative Approach (Rethinking Ageing)

The first definitive study of ageing among black and Asian peoples in Britain; ethnic studies generally ignore issues of ageing, as ageing studies do minorities. Combines information from those studies with original research to profile the range and variety of patterns of ageing in the British Asian and Afro-Caribbean communities and to compare them with patterns in the US and Australia. Includes substantial treatments of the challenges faced by health and social services. Paper edition (19086-3), $29.50. Distributed by Taylor & Francis. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc.
