Download or read book Aging in Minority Groups written by R. L. McNeely and published by SAGE Publications, Incorporated. This book was released on 1983-07 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Older members of minority groups are discriminated against, not only because they're old, but because of their ethnic group. Perhaps for this reason, studies of older people in minorities have tended to approach the subject as a social problem. This volume of essays written by minority group contributors takes a more positive view. The contributions focus on how normal members of minorities cope with the problems of being old. These normative patterns, the demographics of older minority group members, and issues of service delivery and policy are examined.

Download or read book The Cultural Context of Aging written by Jay Sokolovsky and published by Greenwood. This book was released on 1997 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume uses the concept of culture to explore the parameters of aging and being old in a worldwide context, thus providing a true cross-cultural and qualitative approach to social gerontology. Containing both specific case studies and broader analytical articles, this revised and expanded second edition focuses on the multitude of cultural solutions societies have available for dealing with the challenges, problems, and opportunities of growing old. Composed almost exclusively of specially commissioned articles, the text is organized around six topical areas which cover the major concerns of cross-cultural social gerontology. Each section is preceded by an introduction providing a framework for the chapters and highlighting key related issues. Also included are state-of-the-art resource guides including Internet sites, special student resources, data sets, and annotated bibliographies of related readings. The authors come from the fields of anthropology, sociology, gerontology, social work, psychology, psychiatry, and nursing. Through explorations of the experiences of real people, the contributors illuminate how elders actually live in such places as U.S. urban ethnic enclaves, rural Kenya, a South Seas island, urban China, or a New York City women's shelter. Dealing directly with key practical issues relevant to those seeking to pursue a career in the aging field, this volume covers: policy implications of demographic aging; culture and successful aging; culture and caregiving; gender and aging; grandparenthood and the crisis in urban families; informal social support; homelessness and aging; nursing homes and pet therapy; assisted suicide and death hastening behavior; the aging woman and widowhood; rural aging; self-help groups; and the cultural response to Alzheimer's disease. This essential text allows students to understand fully how culture can dictate what may appear to be natural responses to elders and aging.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Should benefits for older people be based on age or need? Do programmes that serve only older people people deflect resources that should go to other people? Some of the contributors to this volume argue that social service programmes should be based on need, rather than defined groups of people. Apart from anything else, age-based programmes confirm negative stereotypes of older people, and lump them into an undifferentiated group. But would the reform of social services along these lines jeopardize the recent progress made in the condition of older people? New thoughts and new information are provided in support of both arguments. 'Here is a ringside seat at a critical juncture in the social reconstruction of old age' --
