Klappentext
"An instant classic. The best ethnography of the elderly since Barbara Myerhoff's 1978 classic Number Our Days."--Mitchell Duneier, Princeton University"A deeply affecting portrait of Americans who are aging in place, forging connections and finding meaning as the world around them churns. Written in the spirit of Barbara Myerhoff's Number Our Days and Arlie Hochschild's The Unexpected Community, At Home in the City is elegant, incisive, and impossible to forget."--Eric Klinenberg, author of 2020: One City, Seven People, and the Year Everything Changed
"This fascinating book explores the social relationships and daily lives of a small group of older adults in New York City who have witnessed tremendous changes in their neighborhoods. At Home in the City expertly weaves together data, theory, and fresh ethnographic work to show how older adults living in rapidly gentrifying neighborhoods navigate the challenges of aging. Stacy Torres is a rare academic who combines sophisticated sociological analysis with a lively and down-to-earth writing style. Her affection and respect for her subjects also jumps off the page, which makes At Home in the City a very satisfying read."--Deborah Carr, author of Aging in America
"At Home in the City provides a rich and timely portrait of how elderly residents age in place in a gentrifying area of New York City. The topic is relevant and the data is superb. Torres expertly shows the importance of 'third places' as places to gather, build relationships, and receive support."--David Trouille, author of Fútbol in the Park: Immigrants, Soccer, and the Creation of Social Ties
