Zusammenfassung:
Fear of anger can ultimately be as destructive as expressed rage, fomenting social isolation, injustice, & misunderstanding. In 'Aging Angry', Amanda Smith Barusch argues that now, more than ever, it is time for older adults to turn toward anger rather than denying or avoiding it. By taking anger seriously, we can neutralize its destructive potential & harness its energy & wisdom for personal & social change. Barusch draws upon the experiences of hundreds of older adults & a wealth of literary & academic sources to empower readers with new understanding of anger's sources, dynamics, & possibilities. Topics range from anger & race in the United States to mass violence committed by older adults to aged activists who have changed our world. In rich & insightful prose, accompanied throughout by powerful case studies, this text forcefully demonstrates that anger - & even - can be transformative.
