摘要：Ageing studies in general, and gerontology in particular, have been rightly criticised for reliance on and emphasis of Western conceptions and imaginaries of ageing and old age. This is changing and contributions such as the book edited by Jaco Hoffman and Katrien Pype are at the forefront of this transformation. Included in the Ageing in a Global Context Polity Press series, the book raises to the challenge of advancing knowledge on global diversity and local complexities shaping the experience of ageing and old age worldwide. It offers an essential engagement with discourses, experiences and realities of care in old age in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) to foreground new ways of thinking and conceptualising care in that region.
