Through detailed ethnographic case studies, this book examines the dynamic lifeworlds of a hundred and seven community-dwelling older adults in Europe before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. It explores the importance of agency, the frictions between self-perceptions of age and outside impositions and the need to deconstruct old age as a homogenising category. These insights challenge simple narratives of older persons as social burdens by highlighting the complex roles they fill in family, neighbourhood and communities.","brand":"Berghahn Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042826289495,"sku":"9781805399513","price":89.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/from-legacies-to-futures-9781805399513","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
