Social Aspects of Aging in Indigenous Communities (Hardcover)

This book represents a collection of chapters by authors committed to Indigenous aging around globe and older adults' contributions to their social, economic, and cultural environments. As the number of older people around the world continues to increase, it is important for families, communities, governments, and nations to have a better understanding of their older adults and their unique contributions, as well as their interests and needs, to ensure that they are able to age with dignity and respect and contribute to the overall health and well-being of their people and environments. The volume will include chapters from authors representing Indigenous populations from many parts of the world, who describe; 1) research studies on the social aspects of aging among Indigenous populations, including cultural, social, and/or economic contributions of older Indigenous adults in their communities, 2) perceptions of aging and well-being among international Indigenous populations, 3) theories about Indigenous aging, and 4) policy and intervention practices (i.e., programs and services) related to older Indigenous adults. The book's chapters also point to current and emerging areas of tension and challenges facing Indigenous older persons due to economic, social and other changes in society.
