This is the central question of Opting for Elsewhere, as the reader encounters stories of people who chose relocation as a way of redefining themselves and reordering work, family, and personal priorities. This is a book about the impulse to start over. Whether downshifting from stressful careers or being downsized from jobs lost in a surge of economic restructuring, lifestyle migrants seek refuge in places that seem to resonate with an idealized, potential self. Choosing the "option of elsewhere" and moving as a means of remaking self through sheer force of will are basic facets of American character, forged in its history as a developing nation of immigrants with a seemingly ever-expanding frontier. Building off years of interviews and research in the Midwest, including areas of Michigan, Brian Hoey provides an evocative illustration of the ways these sweeping changes impact people and the communities where 'they live and work as well as how both react--devising strategies for either coping with or challenging the status quo. This portrait of starting over in the heartland of America compels the reader to ask where we are going next as an emerging postindustrial society"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aLifestyles$zUnited States 606 $aMiddle class$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLifestyles 615 0$aMiddle class 676 $a305.5/50973 700 $aHoey$b Brian A.$f1968-$0894045 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463615703321 996 $aOpting for elsewhere$91997109 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03162nam 2200733 a 450 001 9910783774403321 005 20230617042222.0 010 $a1-280-50165-0 010 $a9786610501656 010 $a1-85359-842-9 024 7 $a10.21832/9781853598425 035 $a(CKB)1000000000245119 035 $a(EBL)255731 035 $a(OCoLC)568232957 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000188819 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12073433 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000188819 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10173758 035 $a(PQKB)10920615 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC255731 035 $a(DE-B1597)513617 035 $a(OCoLC)437164209 035 $a(DE-B1597)9781853598425 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL255731 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10110148 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL50165 035 $a(OCoLC)62140944 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000245119 100 $a20050406d2005 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aLanguage and aging in multilingual contexts$b[electronic resource] /$fKees de Bot and Sinfree Makoni 210 $aClevedon ;$aBuffalo $cMultilingual Matters Ltd.$dc2005 215 $a1 online resource (168 p.) 225 1 $aBilingual education and bilingualism ;$v53 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a1-85359-840-2 311 $a1-85359-841-0 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $tIntroduction: language, aging and multilingualism --$tLanguage and aging, a dynamic perspective --$tLanguage and communication with the elderly --$tLanguage use and language skills in the healthy and pathological aging --$tResources in language and aging --$tMultilingualism, aging and dementia --$tBilingual aging in older African-Americans --$tThe effect of age and education on narrative complexity in older Chinese in the USA /$rSinfree Makoni with Hwei-Bing-Lin & Robert Schrauf --$tLanguage in an epidemiological study: the North Manhattan aging study in New York City --$tOld and new perspectives on language and aging. 330 $aIn this book different aspects of language and aging are discussed.
