Beyond Successful and Active Ageing: A Theory of Model Ageing
Virpi Timonen
This controversial book argues that concepts such as `successful’ and `active’ ageing are potentially dangerous paradigms that reflect and exacerbate inequalities in older populations. Essential reading for anyone seeking to make sense of social constructions of ageing in contemporary societies.
