The absence of data is a testament to the invisibility of baby boomers of color in society and deeply affects the practice of social work and other helping professions that require culturally sensitive approaches. Melvin Delgado rectifies this injustice by providing a comprehensive portrait of the status and unique assets of boomers of color. Using specific data, he grounds an understanding of boomers 'financial, medical, and emotional needs within a historical, socioeconomic, cultural, and political context, resulting in tailored recommendations for meeting the challenges of a growing population. His research focuses on African American, Hispanic, Asian/Pacific Islander, and Native American older adults and addresses issues of financial security, employment stability, housing, and health care, which are often complicated by linguistic and cultural differences. Rather than treat baby boomers of color as a financial burden on society and its resources, Delgado recognizes their strengths and positive contributions to families and communities, resulting in an affirming and empowering approach to service. 606 $aBaby boom generation 606 $aMinority older people 615 4$aBaby boom generation. 615 4$aMinority older people. 676 $a305.2 700 $aDelgado$b Melvin$01597098 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813791403321 996 $aBaby boomers of color$94093375 997 $aUNINA
