As the older population in the United States is becoming more
racially and ethnically diverse, it is important to understand the
characteristics, the potential, and the needs of this population.
In this new and fully revised edition of Aging and Diversity,
Chandra Mehrotra and Lisa Wagner address key topics in diversity
and aging, discussing how the aging experience is affected by not
only race and ethnicity but also gender, religious affiliation,
social class, rural-urban community location, and sexual
orientation and gender identity. Taking this broad view of human
diversity allows the authors to convey some of the rich
complexities facing our aging population - complexities that
provide both challenges to meet the needs of a diverse population
of elders and opportunities to learn how to live in a pluralistic
society. Mehrotra and Wagner present up-to-date knowledge and
scholarship about aging and diversity in a way that engages readers
in active learning, placing ongoing emphasis on developing readers'
knowledge and skills, fostering higher order thinking, and
encouraging exploration of personal values and attitudes.
