Rezension zu „Ways of Aging “
'Ways of Aging is a welcome antidote to deterministic theories of aging. What a treat to read such wonderfully written ethnographic accounts that both illuminate distinctive social worlds and offer provocative insight into the multiple meanings of aging and old age!' David A. Karp, Professor of Sociology, Boston College 'Ways of Aging demonstrates that environment is key to unraveling the diversity found among the aged. Gubrium and Holstein are unmistakable: aging is a coat of many colors; variety is the order of the day. A close reading of Ways of Aging will put to rest the very notion that there are 'norms' of aging. This book helps us understand how people create the scripts they live by, through narrative accounts.' Joe Hendricks, Oregon State University
