Description

Book Synopsis
An ethnographical study of the people of the Kel Ewey confederation of Tuareg. It explores age and aging in an African culture. It considers the mutual exchange of knowledge about aging and life course - an interaction that itself sheds light on the need to deconstruct standard age-related categories for studying other cultures.

Trade Review

Rasmussen has captured the essence of Kel Ewey concepts of aging as a process.... I know of nothing quite like this in the aging literature.

-- Maria G. Catell
