Ageism: Past, Present, and Future' presents perspectives for understanding ageism and puts ageism in the context of specific social institutions. McNamara and Williamson uniquely provide a number of complementary ways to understand ageism, including social and psychological theories of ageism, economic development, ageism as frame or lens, and ageism at the intersection of various social categories such as gender and race. They then put ageism in the context of mass media, health care, employment, and public policy. This short text is an ideal addition to courses on sociology of aging, social policy, and social problems.

Quatrième de couverture : "Le vieillissement. Teinté de mystère, lourd de promesses et de menaces, ce thème nous concerne tous. Fréquemment envisagé selon un prisme scientifique, les réflexions qu'il impose sont pourtant également de nature économique, philosophique, sociale, sociétale, source d'une complicité dicible. Cet ouvrage propose au lecteur d'aller au-delà des idées reçues : un nouveau regard qui ouvre des perspectives concrètes pour envisager comment vieillir dans de bonnes conditions sans occulter les enjeux de maîtrise des dépenses publiques."
