Because researchers often treat baby boomers of color as
belonging to one group, quality data on the individual status of
specific racial populations is lacking, leading to insufficiently
designed programs, policies, and services. The absence of data is a
testament to the invisibility of baby boomers of color in society
and deeply affects the practice of social work and other helping
professions that require culturally sensitive approaches.
Melvin Delgado rectifies this injustice by providing a
comprehensive portrait of the status and unique assets of boomers
of color. Using specific data, he grounds an understanding of
boomers'financial, medical, and emotional needs within a
historical, socioeconomic, cultural, and political context,
resulting in tailored recommendations for meeting the challenges of
a growing population. His research focuses on African American,
Hispanic, Asian/Pacific Islander, and Native American older adults
and addresses issues of financial security, employment stability,
housing, and health care, which are often complicated by linguistic
and cultural differences. Rather than treat baby boomers of color
as a financial burden on society and its resources, Delgado
recognizes their strengths and positive contributions to families
and communities, resulting in an affirming and empowering approach
to service.
