Social Class in Later Life collects the latest research on class, culture, and aging, exploring the relationship between them and offering a critical guide to the ways in which age and class relations intersect with each other. Bringing together a range of international scholars, Marvin Formosa and Paul Higgs develop a sophisticated, analytical and empirical understanding of late-life class dynamics. It will be of interest to students and researchers examining the implications of global aging as well as scholars concerned with the development of a more critical and engaged gerontology.

Arvustused

"Anyone interested in social gerontology will want this short edited volume on their bookshelves - for the references and for the substantive content of the chapters." Sociology of Health & Fitness "This eloquent, thought-provoking collection will be essential reading for scholars of ageing and all with an interest in policy linked to ageing." Professor Sara Arber, Centre for Research on Ageing and Gender (CRAG), University of Surrey "A much-needed collection on social class and older age which looks critically at the constraints placed on older people and the emerging cultures of later life." Journal of Social Policy "A most welcome collection that provides a much-needed and up-to-date orientation on the open frontiers of class across the life course." Martin Kohli, European University Institute and Bremen International Graduate School of Social Sciences "This fascinating edited volume brings together top-notch scholars who each cast a unique lens on a rarely studied topic. A must-read for students of social gerontology, stratification, and inequalities." Professor Deborah Carr, Chair, Department of Sociology, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ "An exciting collection which successfully sets out to re-invigorate the consideration of class in gerontology. The editors have done a fantastic job of bringing the diverse positions adopted by the contributors into dialogue with each other." Professor James Nazroo, Sociology and CCSR, University of Manchester
