Because researchers often treat baby boomers of color as belonging to one group, quality data on the individual status of specific racial populations is lacking, leading to insufficiently designed programs, policies, and services. The absence of data is a testament to the invisibility of baby boomers of color in society and deeply affects the practice of social work and other helping professions that require culturally sensitive approaches. Melvin Delgado rectifies this injustice by providing a comprehensive portrait of the status and unique assets of boomers of color. Using specific data, he grounds an understanding of boomers 'financial, medical, and emotional needs within a historical, socioeconomic, cultural, and political context, resulting in tailored recommendations for meeting the challenges of a growing population. His research focuses on African American, Hispanic, Asian/Pacific Islander, and Native American older adults and addresses issues of financial security, employment stability, housing, and health care, which are often complicated by linguistic and cultural differences. Rather than treat baby boomers of color as a financial burden on society and its resources, Delgado recognizes their strengths and positive contributions to families and communities, resulting in an affirming and empowering approach to service.

Quatrième de couverture : "En périphérie du système de santé français, le monde associatif représente un secteur important, à la fois ancien et innovant, relativement peu exploré par les sciences sociales : bénévoles engagés dans des associations de malades, la défense des droits des minorités sexuelles, l'accompagnement des personnes en fin de vie ; salariés associatifs mettant en place des actions de prévention contre l'alcoolisme et les drogues, d'éducation à la sexualité, d'intégration des handicapés, de santé communautaire. Ces parcours de bénévoles et de salariés se mêlent dans un monde aux valeurs fortes, dont l'efficacité sociale est reconnue dès qu'on atteint les limites de l'intervention du système public de santé et du marché. La question de l'engagement dans la santé méritait d'être traitée à travers des exemples de diverses pathologies et grâce à des points de vue différents, mettant en scène les usagers et les acteurs comme personnages principaux d'une bataille vers la démocratie sanitaire. Le livre fait clairement apparaître les logiques qui opposent ou rapprochent l'institution médicale et le monde associatif. Il montre que les femmes jouent un rôle très important dans ces engagements tout en restant souvent en retrait des responsabilités associatives."
