Focusing on an overlooked and understudied population,
Understanding Older Chicanas examines older Chicanas' lives,
status, and public policy needs. Chicana elderly tend to be poor,
reflecting the economic position of Chicanos in American society;
they also tend to be stereotyped as widows and grandmothers,
reflecting the cultural values of Mexican American society. This
work shows how Chicana elderly cope with this economic and cultural
marginality and how they gain the personal and financial resources
they require. Author Elisa Facio also relates how scholars and
public policymakers have previously understood Chicana elderly,
provides new data on the social meaning of Chicana old age, and
points out the implications of that meaning for future
policymakers. This perceptive volume is essential reading for those
in academic and policy settings who are interested in issues
regarding multicultural aging experiences, diversification,
life-cycle phases, socialization, and women.
