To understand contemporary ageing, it is necessary to recognize its diversity. Drawing on an extraordinary range of theory, original research, and empirical sources, Ageing and Diversitynow in paperbackassesses 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. It 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. Ageing and Diversity also addresses key issues such as global ageing, migration, transnational community, and citizenship, and incorporates theories and findings from psychology, sociology, anthropology, demography, social policy, and health sciences.
