This provocative, intellectually charged treatise serves as a concise introduction to emancipatory gerontology, examining multiple dimensions of persistent and hotly debated topics around aging, the life course, the roles of power, politics and partisanship, culture, economics, and communications. Critical perspectives are presented as definitions for reader understanding, with links to concepts of identity, knowledge construction, social networks, social movements, and inequalities. With today’s intensifying concentration of wealth and corporatization, precarity is the fate for growing numbers of the world’s population. Intersectionality as an analytic concept offers a new appreciation of how social advantage and disadvantage accumulate, and how constructions of race, ethnicity, class, ability, and gender influence aging. The book’s entries offer a bibliographic compendium, crediting the salience of early pioneering theorists and locating these within the cutting-edge of research (social, behavioral, policy, and gene–environment sciences) that currently advances our understandings of human development, trauma, and resilience. Accompanying these foundations are theories of resistance for advancing human rights and the dignity of marginalized populations.

This book was inspired by all the wonderful aging experts who have appeared on "Aging in Arizona" (960 AM). When we were approaching our 200th episode, we realized many of the same themes were recurring - and so we decided to bring together the expertise under one roof, so to speak, in a book that addresses financial, social, medical and spiritual needs and challenges of getting older. Most the authors of the book have been on the radio show. You will see, as we did, the passion they have for the people they help and the industries they are helping to move forward. Our ultimate goal is to reduce the stress of caregiving and help you capitalize on opportunities to manage what could be the best years of your life!
