Older adults want to exercise a sense of control over their relationships, structures and surroundings as they navigate the later life course. Through detailed ethnographic case studies, this book examines the dynamic lifeworlds of a hundred and seven community-dwelling older adults in Europe before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. It explores the importance of agency, the frictions between self-perceptions of age and outside impositions and the need to deconstruct old age as a homogenising category. These insights challenge simple narratives of older persons as social burdens by highlighting the complex roles they fill in family, neighbourhood and communities.
Through ninety-four ethnographic case studies of community dwelling older adults in Europe before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, this book highlights the importance of agency, friction between self-perceptions on age and outside impositions and the need to deconstruct old age as a homogenizing category of belonging.
