eBook
Aging and the Indian diaspora : cosmopolitan families in India and abroad
2009
Overview
The proliferation of old age homes and increasing numbers of elderly
living alone are startling new phenomena in India. These trends are related to
extensive overseas migration and the transnational dispersal of families. In this
moving and insightful account, Sarah Lamb shows that older persons are innovative
agents in the processes of social-cultural change. Lamb's study probes debates and
cultural assumptions in both India and the United States regarding how best to age;
the proper social-moral relationship among individuals, genders, families, the
market, and the state; and ways of finding meaning in the human life
course.
