Getting Wise about Getting Old
A grey tsunami is sweeping the land, wreaking social and financial havoc in its wake. Sound familiar? This myth about aging, along with twenty-eight others, is the focus of Getting Wise about Getting Old, which paints a far more accurate and nuanced portrait of old age. In it, experts debunk myths and persistent stereotypes about aging on a broad array of social issues – from retirement (seniors are low-performance workers) to housing (most older adults live in long-term care accommodation), and violence (senior women are not victims of sexual assault) to political participation (seniors are conservative and resistant to change) – deconstructing and countering them with the latest findings. The work of two leading research groups in Quebec, the short and accessible chapters of this vitally important book contribute to a better understanding of the social challenges, as well as the advantages, of an aging society.
Four Lenses of Population Aging

The New Neighborhood Senior Center
In 2011, seven thousand American “baby boomers” (those born between 1946 and 1964) turned sixty-five daily. As this largest U.S. generation ages, cities, municipalities, and governments at every level must grapple with the allocation of resources and funding for maintaining the quality of life, health, and standard of living for an aging population. In The New Neighborhood Senior Center, Joyce Weil uses in-depth ethnographic methods to examine a working-class senior center in Queens, New York. She explores the ways in which social structure directly affects the lives of older Americans and traces the role of political, social, and economic institutions and neighborhood processes in the d...
Innover pour mobiliser
MICHEL BLONDIN EST UN PIONNIER de l'animation sociale. Les principes d'intervention qu'il a dégagés de son travail font encore aujourd'hui partie des règles de l'art enseignées en travail social et en organisation communautaire. Ce livre trace le parcours de ce fils d'ouvrier devenu animateur social, puis éducateur populaire en Amérique latine, éducateur syndical et éducateur économique solidaire. Accompagner Michel Blondin dans son récit, c'est observer comment celui-ci a innové dans différents contextes et dans le cadre de différents mandats pour mobiliser tantôt les résidents des quartiers populaires de Montréal dans les comités de citoyens, tantôt les paysans boliviens ...

Age Friendly
Age Friendly: Ending Ageism in America is a rallying call to make the United States a more equitable and just nation in terms of age. "Age friendliness" means being inclusive towards older people as workers, consumers, and citizens, something that can’t be said to exist today. The United States and, especially, Big Business, are notoriously age-unfriendly places, a result of our obsession with youth. Virtually all aspects of everyday life in America will be impacted by the doubling or tripling of the number of older people over the next two decades, more reason to adopt age friendliness as a cause. Age Friendly shows how large companies are in an ideal position to address the aging of Amer...
