Are patterns of ageing the same in all ethnic groups? Are there any cultural factors which make growing old better or worse for particular communities? Does racial discrimination affect the quality of life and health care of ageing members of ethnic groups? In this wide-ranging study in social gerontology, Markides and Mindel integrate literature from sociology, political science, economics, psychology and social work to explore the relationship between ageing and ethnicity. They draw important conclusions for social policy and suggest future directions for research and intervention.
