Reviews
Cati Coe understands the language of change, care and aging in Africa as well as the diversity of change in the context of the broader globalized world. She critically but sensitively explores these complexities without falling into tired binaries. Change in Africa and its implications for care are approached as complex, quiet and sporadic processes and not simplistically linear as still often proposed by exponents of modernization theory. --Jaco Hoffman co-editor of Intergenerational Contact Zones: Place-Based Strategies for Promoting Social Inclusion and Belonging Combining an innovative set of conceptual tools with meticulous presentation of ethnographic and historical research in both rural and urban contexts, this study makes a compelling contribution to understanding the dynamics of changing elder-care practices in Ghana. Topics covered include the intertwining of kin and non-kin roles in the work of care-giving and the uneasy relations between care-givers and domestic servants in households. --Andrew Strathern and Pamela J. Stewart co-authors of Language and Culture in Dialogue
