Furthermore, the book provides pertinent advice to social work educators for preparing the next generation of gerontologists and social workers in the aging society of America. -- Heung Bong Cha, president of the International Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics This book looks more deeply into so-called minority groups and the impact of aging. It is important because of its attempt to address the intersection of aging and minority or marginalized status and will hopefully prompt more work in this important area. -- Jay Poole, University of North Carolina-Greensboro Outstanding...
