Reviews
This book is well written and takes the reader deep into the experiences of African American elders in assisted living facilities within the context of their communities of care.
This is a 'value added' book for any gerontology library.
This volume would be an excellent addition to an undergraduate or graduate anthropology of aging course because it provides a detailed examination of an understudied population and topic.
A rich and textured ethnographic account of life among African American elders in assisted living facilities. The authors provide an important and unique contribution to the literature on long-term care and on assisted living literature, specifically, and offer valuable guidance to policymakers seeking to ensure culturally sensitive care.
