"Ways of Aging" is an engaging collection of ten original essays on
the experience of aging. Written and edited by social
gerontologists, and focusing on everyday life, these essays draw
from original case studies to feature diverse ways of growing and
being older. Through in-depth interviews and first-person accounts,
each essay gives a voice to the elderly, stressing the distinct and
assorted identities that people develop as they grow older under
different circumstances.
In straightforward and compelling prose, the authors feature the
varied experiences of widows, African Americans, Native Americans,
nursing home residents, gay and lesbian elders, and others. The
essays provide vivid illustrations of both the complex differences
of the aging experience and the surprising commonalities. The theme
of a diverse, multifaceted aging experience links the various
presentations.
Countering familiar stereotypes, "Ways of Aging" offers a
unique perspective on the different pathways that may be taken
through the later years.
