A powerful and much needed account of the way in which older people respond to and negotiate change within urban communities. The research challenges views which present older people as 'victims' of global change, providing a highly nuanced description of both the perceived challenges of migration, but also the positive ways in which it is incorporated into new ways of adapting to social change.\"\u003c\/div\u003e— Christopher Phillipson, co-editor of Precarity and Ageing: Understanding Insecurity and Risk in Later Life\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\"Molly George's book beautifully upends common assumptions about the widespread racism among elderly white Americans, Brits, and New Zealanders, offering a much more nuanced portrait of how ethnicity and migration are viewed by older generations.

Around the world, many older people have stayed still but have been profoundly impacted by the movement of others. Without migrating themselves, many older people now live in a far \"different country\" than the one of their memories. Recently, the Brexit vote and the 2016 election of Trump have re-enforced prevalent stereotypes of \"the racist older person\". This book challenges simplified images of the old as racist, nostalgic and resistant to change by taking a deeper, more nuanced look at older people's complex relationship with the diversity and multiculturalism that has grown and developed around them. \u003ci\u003eAging in a Changing World\u003c\/i\u003e takes a look at how some older people in New Zealand have been responding to and interacting with the new multiculturalism they now encounter in their daily lives. Through their unhurried, micro, daily interactions with immigrants, they quietly emerge as agents of the very social change they are assumed to oppose.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eList of Illustrations \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  1 Aging in Times of Great Change \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  2 Global Movement, Everyday Multiculturalism, and Aging \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  3 Constructing the Field and Recruiting the Urban Stranger \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  4 \"Then and Now\": Narratives of Change \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  5 Older New Zealanders' Immigration-Related Concerns \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  6 A Surprise Twist?
