Ageing and Diversity: Multiple Pathways and Cultural Migrations
Editat de Svein Olav Daatland, Simon Biggsen Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 noi 2004
To understand contemporary ageing it is necessary to recognise its diversity. Drawing on an extraordinary range of theory, original research and empirical sources, this book assesses the stereotyped conceptions of ageing, and offers a critical and updated perspective.The book explores the diversity of individual pathways of ageing, the sources of identifications, migration and otherness, and the tension between social structures and personal agency; considers multidisciplinary and international perspectives as an important means of understanding the diversity of ageing, and the need for change in established notions and policies; addresses key issues such as global ageing, migration, transnational community and citizenship; incorporates theories and findings from psychology and sociology, anthropology and demography, social policy and health sciences. 'Ageing and diversity' is aimed at academics, students and practitioners in the fields of sociology, social psychology, health, and welfare. It will also be of interest to all those who want to challenge stereotypes about ageing.

Recenzii
An important contribution to the debate on theoretical directions within gerontology. Expert international editors provide an in-depth analysis of this under-researched topic. Liz Lloyd, School for Policy Studies, University of Bristol
... another excellent text from The Policy Press. The editors have done an excellent job of bringing together some of the leading writers on social gerontology from across Western Europe ... a very stimulating read. Journal of Social Policy
