Since the publication of the first edition of The Black Aged in the
United States in 1980, a large number of studies, articles,
pamphlets, and books on the subject have been produced,
necessitating the present volume. In addition to a substantial
increase in the number of citations, the bibliography deals with
new issues of immediate relevance, such as the effects of prison
life, AIDS, the gay lifestyle, adoption, sickle cell anemia, and
abuse of the aged. Attention also has been given to
autobiographical sources, which provide keen insights into how the
aged Blacks felt about their pains, dreams, disappointments, hopes,
sufferings, and their experience with racism in this country. This
expansive reference work has been carefully compiled to accommodate
a variety of research methods, and it offers extensive coverage of
related topics. The compiler's introduction provides an historical
overview of the role of the Black aged in transmitting Black
culture to younger generations and points out the significance of
that contribution in the Black heritage. Most entries have precise
and informative annotations; of special interest is an appendix on
Black Retirement Homes, 1860-1988. The only complete sourcebook
available on a timely and provocative subject, this exhaustive
study will be useful in Black studies, sociology, women's studies,
gerontology, and geriatrics.
