Establishing a critical and interdisciplinary dialogue, this text
engages with the typically disparate fields of social gerontology
and disability studies. It investigates the subjective experiences
of two groups rarely considered together in research - people
ageing with long-standing disability and people first experiencing
disability with ageing. This book challenges assumptions about
impairment in later life and the residual nature of the 'fourth
age'. It proposes that the experience of 'disability' in older age
reaches beyond the bodily context and can involve not only a
challenge to a sense of value and meaning in life, but also ongoing
efforts in response.
