Yet in public and scholarly debates, aspirations are often seen as the realm of younger, mobile generations, since they are assumed to hold the greatest potential for shaping the future. This volume flips this perspective on its head by exploring how aspirations are constructed from the vantage point of later life, and shows how they are pursued across time, space, and generations. The aspirations of older people are diverse, and relate not only to aging itself but also to planning the next generation's future, preparing an "ideal" retirement, searching for intimacy and self-realization, and confronting death and afterlives. Aspiring in Later Life brings together rich ethnographic cases from different regions of the world, offering original insights into how aspirations shift over the course of life and how they are pursued in contexts of translocal mobility"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aGlobal Perspectives on Aging Series 606 $aOlder people$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aOlder immigrants$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aOlder people$xSocial life and customs 606 $aOlder people$xPsychology 606 $aHope 606 $aDesire 610 $aaging, goal, aspirations, anthropology, sociology, mobility, retirement, legacy. 615 0$aOlder people 615 0$aOlder immigrants 615 0$aOlder people$xSocial life and customs. 615 0$aOlder people$xPsychology 615 0$aHope. 615 0$aDesire. 676 $a305.26 700 $aAmrith$b Megha$01436972 701 $aSakti$b Victoria K$01436973 701 $aSampaio$b Dora$01254385 701 $aLunca$b Dumitrita$01436974 701 $aJohnson$b Lisa$01363092 701 $aAlber$b Erdmute$01129331 701 $aCoe$b Cati$01436975 701 $aKaur Gill$b Harmandeep$01436976 701 $aOtaegui$b Alfonso$01357284 701 $aPauli$b Julia$01076456 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996552347703316 996 $aAspiring in Later Life$93596790 997 $aUNISA
