To Live in the Center of the Moment
Waxman (English, U. of North Carolina) compares autobiographical writings that cover themes related to aging, namely the relationships between elderly parents and middle-aged children, the experience of turning 70, the role of race, philosophical insights and quasi- mystical experiences by the aging, and the representation of elders as sages and sibyls. She discusses works by Philip Roth, Madeleine L'Engle, Lucille Clifton, Doris Grumbach, May Sarton, Audre Lorde, Maya Angelou, Velma Wallis, Howell Raines, Donald Hall, and Florida Scott- Maxwell.

A Passion for Consumption
"By exposing the literary motifs of subversion and seduction inherent in these works as disruptive to the flow, circulation, and expansion of value, A Passion for Consumption positions American literary culture as an extension of commodity economics."--BOOK JACKET.
The Hidden Face of Rights
Why we cannot truly implement human rights unless we also recognize human responsibilities When we debate questions in international law, politics, and justice, we often use the language of rights—and far less often the language of responsibilities. Human rights scholars and activists talk about state responsibility for rights, but they do not articulate clear norms about other actors’ obligations. In this book, Kathryn Sikkink argues that we cannot truly implement human rights unless we also recognize and practice the corresponding human responsibilities. Focusing on five areas—climate change, voting, digital privacy, freedom of speech, and sexual assault—where on-the-ground (primarily university campus) initiatives have persuaded people to embrace a close relationship between rights and responsibilities, Sikkink argues for the importance of responsibilities to any comprehensive understanding of political ethics and human rights.

The Older Woman in Recent Fiction
This critical study explores late twentieth century novels by women writers--including Doris Lessing, May Sarton and Barbara Pym--that feature female protagonists over the age of sixty. These novels' discourses on aging contrast with those largely pejorative ones that dominate Western society. They break the silence that normally surrounds the lives of the aged, and this book investigates how older female protagonists are represented in relation to areas such as sexuality, dependence and everyday life. Beginning with an investigation of popular opinions about aging and a survey of hypotheses from disciplines including gerontology, psychology and feminism, the text reviews literary critical a...
