Molly George

Aging in a Changing World

Older New Zealanders and Contemporary Multiculturalism

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Aging in a Changing World challenges simplified images of old people as racist, nostalgic, and resistant to change – stereotypes that have only grown more prevalent with the Brexit vote and the 2016 election of Donald Trump. This book takes a deep, nuanced look at the experiences of older people who, while “aging in place,” have been profoundly impacted by global population movement and the dramatic development of modern multiculturalism around them.
