Growing Up and Growing Old: Ageing and Dependency in the Life Course (Life Course Studies series)

Ranging across disciplinary boundaries, this book analyzes metaphors of dependency in differing contexts - the body, the family, work and leisure. Combining a robustly critical analysis with breadth of interdisciplinary sweep, Growing Up and Growing Old challenges the stigmatizing role that stereotypes can play in the lives of particular groups of people.Hockey, Jenny is the author of 'Growing Up and Growing Old: Ageing and Dependency in the Life Course (Life Course Studies series)', published 1993 under ISBN 9780803985599 and ISBN 0803985592.
