Reviews
"""A welcome addition to the study of migration and aging, this volume explores ambition, intimacy, and other aspirations as elders envision a good life and craft new vistas in later years. Ethnographically vivid fieldwork draws the reader into the uncertainties and elations of intergenerational households of transmigrants, returnees, and refugees."" --Michele Ruth Gamburd ""author of Linked Lives: Elder Care, Migration, and Kinship in Sri Lanka"" ""This important volume advances the idea that people do have aspirations all through the life course and that we need to know more about their thoughts, choices, and how they dynamically engage with cultural scripts about aging."" --Sherylyn Briller ""professor of anthropology at Purdue University"""
