It draws upon novel qualitative longitudinal research which recorded the experiences of a diverse group of people aged 50+ in Greater Manchester over a 12-month during the pandemic. The book analyses their lived experiences and those of organisations working to support them, shedding light on the isolating effects of social distancing. Covering 21 organisations, as well as 102 people from four ethnic/identity groups, the authors argue that the pandemic exacerbated existing inequalities in the UK, disproportionately affecting low-income neighbourhoods and Black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) communities. The book outlines recommendations in relation to developing a ‘community-centred approach’ in responding to future variants of COVID-19, as well as making suggestions for how to create post-pandemic neighbourhoods.SOCIAL SCIENCE / GerontologybisacshSOCIAL SCIENCE / Gerontology.305.26094273Lewis Camilla, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1358085Burnham Andy, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbPhillipson Chris, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autYarker Sophie, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910719761503321COVID-19, Inequality and Older People3366299UNINA
