The growing number of elder men providing hands-on care to loved
ones, particularly spouses, undeniably represents a hidden segment
of the home care population. With that in consideration, caregiving
in communities of color, in particular, is increasing while numbers
of informal (unpaid) caregivers are projected to triple by 2030.
Despite statistics, studies on African-American men who care for
other elders (such as spouses and parents) - indeed, "the hidden
among the hidden" - are negligible. This text follows a study
conducted by Helen Black, a research scientist focusing on aging,
alongside John Groce and Charles Harmon, founders of Mature
Africans Learning from Each Other (M.A.L.E.), in which they
interviewed elderly African-American men in caregiver roles. As a
whole, The Hidden Among the Hidden is unique in its study of
caregiving in the areas of subject matter, methodology, and
presentation of findings. The men whose attitudes and behaviors
toward caregiving are recorded in this book share a wealth of
knowledge for other caregivers, gerontologists, healthcare
professionals, students, and the community in general.
