A collection of in-depth ethnographic analyses of the impact of local and global transformations on the care—or lack of care—received by older people in Sub-Saharan Africa, this book provides the pan-African evidence and enquiry needed to advance debates about how to address (and who should address) the long-term care needs of this vulnerable population. Contributors from the United Kingdom, the Congo, Kenya, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and France use case studies from eighteen different countries in all regions of Sub-Saharan Africa to examine formal and informal care, including inter- and intra-generational care and retirement homes, as well as care in the context of poverty, HIV/AIDS, and migration.

Recenzijas

"This is a valuable, timely and thought-provoking collection on spaces and practices of care in Africa. The challenges of political economic change and the variations in actual situations are beautifully documented." Susan Reynolds Whyte, University of Copenhagen "This book provides an opportunity for one of the most misrepresented entities to be heard - Africa's older population, a vulnerable group with unique needs." Sanet du Toit, University of Sydney, Australia "...a thoughtful and insightful contribution, adding to or supporting our discussions on Western care-giving... an invaluable book on Africa's older population, a thought-provoking discussion on the practices of care familial, informal and formal in Africa and an interesting discussion on the spaces of care" Ageing and Society, Volume 39, Issue 4
