Cultural Aging Life course, Lifestyle, And Senior Worlds

The aging of Western populations has resulted in a rise in positive images of aging that promote activity, autonomy, mobility, and choice. The essays in this book, while appreciating the genuinely positive thrust of new aging culture, also question how later life is becoming idealised as an experience unburdened by the challenging material realities of growing older. Katz expands gerontological theory by offering an interdisciplinary approach that borrows from the humanities, feminism, and cultural theory.Katz, Stephen is the author of 'Cultural Aging Life course, Lifestyle, And Senior Worlds', published 2005 under ISBN 9781551115771 and ISBN 1551115778.
