Growing up and growing old:

ageing and dependency in the life course
Front Cover
0 Reviews
Sage, 1993 - Social Science - 200 pages
Ranging across disciplinary boundaries, this book analyzes metaphors of dependency in differing contexts - the body, the family, work and leisure. Combining a robustly critical analysis with breadth of interdisciplinary sweep, Growing Up and Growing Old challenges the stigmatizing role that stereotypes can play in the lives of particular groups of people.
