Editat de Kalyani Mehta, Amarjit Singh

In historic and ethnographic accounts of Indians living in diaspora, the elderly seem to receive much less attention than the new generation and its progress, prosperity and success. Using critical pedagogy approach, this book attempts to close that gap by focusing on the voices of the Punjabi, Bengali, Sindhi, and Gujarati diasporic Indians elderly, living in five countries. Learning to listen to the voices of these seniors may enable professors, teachers, students, policy makers, and parents to work towards building democratic societies.

Her research projects have focused on long term care policies, living arrangements of elderly, retirement, widowhood, grand parenting in Asia, cultural aspects of ageing, and suicide. Among her significant publications are books, Untapped Resources: Women in Ageing Societies across Asia, Social Work in Context: A Reader, and journal articles in internationally reputed journals such as Ageing and Society, Journal of Aging and Social Policy, Journal of Cross-cultural Gerontology and Journal of Geriatrics and Gerontology.
