This volume brings together chapters about aging in many
non-Western cultures, from Africa and Asia to South America, from
American Indians to Australian and Hawaii Aboriginals. It also
includes articles on other issues of aging, such as falling,
dementia, and elder abuse. It was thought that in Africa or Asia,
elders were revered and taken care of. This certainly used to be
the case. But the Western way has moved into these places, and we
now find that elders are often left on their own or in
institutions, as younger people have migrated to other cities and
even countries. Grandparents often find themselves being parents to
their grandchildren, a far cry from the kind of life they believed
they would have as they aged. This book will explore all these
issues and will be of use to students and researchers in this
relatively new field.
