Présentation de l'éditeur :

An evermore diverse America is getting older, but American policies are not growing with the needs of our ethnic and aging society. Age Through Ethnic Lenses explores the distinct characteristics and unique social, political, economic, and cultural situations of America's aged, while highlighting the common needs and objectives among all aging Americans. With portraits of Asians, Latinos, individuals of European and African origins, Native Americans, Socioreligious groups, women, gay men and women, and the rural aged, this book broadens our perspective on the issues of longterm care, and provides a valuable guide for future public policy as we enter the twentyfirst century.
