Firstly, with regards to thinking about what inequalities operate in later life there has been an excessive preoccupation with economic resources. On the other hand, less attention has been paid to cultural norms and values, other resources, wider social processes, political participation and community engagement. Secondly, in terms of thinking about the ‘who’ of inequality, this has so far been limited to a very narrow range of minority populations. Finally, when considering the ‘how’ of inequality, social gerontology’s theoretical analyses remain under-developed. The overall effect of these issues is that social gerontology remains deeply embedded in normative assumptions which serve to exclude a wide range of older people. This book aims to challenge and provoke the above described normativity and offer an alternative approach which highlights the heterogeneity and diversity of ageing.Routledge advances in sociology.Minority older peopleSocial conditionsOlder peopleSocial conditionsAgingSocial aspectsCross-cultural studiesEqualitySociologysocial justiceageing inequalitiesinequalities in later lifeMinority older peopleSocial conditions.Older peopleAgingSocial aspectsEquality.305.26Westwood Sueedt1366711Westwood Sue1957-UkMaJRUBOOK9910294540503321Ageing, diversity and equality3389315UNINA
