- Title
Kritische Gerontologie.
- Authors
Kolland, Franz
- Abstract
The book "Critical Gerontology. An Introduction" by Kirsten Aner and Klaus R. Schroeter discusses various currents and approaches within gerontology. It discusses political-economic, feminist, narrative, humanistic, discursive, and cultural-scientific perspectives. The fourth chapter is particularly important, as it addresses the political economy of aging and emphasizes that inequalities in the distribution of resources are more attributable to societal power relations than individual differences. The book is aimed at readers who wish to engage more deeply with Critical Gerontology and provides a comprehensive description of the various approaches.
