A resource guide by and about elders and the process of aging, this
volume provides a list of over 1,500 references, all annotated,
covering a wide range of subject areas. It is organized under such
topics as "Customs and Beliefs," "Narratives," "Traditional Arts,"
"Health and Healing," and "Applied Folklore," and is further
divided into regional and topical subheadings. It also features
works on methods and concepts in field research in folklore, oral
history, and community studies, a chapter on general works from
other fields of interest, as well as a chapter on films. The
introduction offers not only a description of the nature and role
of elders as creators and carriers of culture, but also a challenge
to readers--reflected in the broad range of materials
cited--defying both narrow conceptions of aging and the aged, and
limited notions about the full scope of expressive culture
addressed by folklore studies.
