Rose Keimig's Growing Old in a New China is the first real ethnography of institutionalized eldercare in China, and also a fine description of old age and of eldercare between family members in China today. A first-rate account--seamlessly integrates traditional and contemporary indigenous ideas with broader theories of care. Impressive! --Arthur Kleinman author of The Soul of Care

"""Rose Keimig's Growing Old in a New China is the first real ethnography of institutionalized eldercare in China, and also a fine description of old age and of eldercare between family members in China today. A first-rate account—seamlessly integrates traditional and contemporary indigenous ideas with broader theories of care. Impressive!""  — Arthur Kleinman, author of The Soul of Care ""This ground-breaking ethnography takes readers on a journey into China’s new elder care homes, focusing on the lives of those who live and work there. Richly detailed, beautifully written, and theoretically inspired, this book is a must-read for scholars of Asia, medical anthropology, aging and care.""— Marcia C. Inhorn, co-editor of Reconceiving Muslim Men: Love and Marriage, Family and Care in Precarious Times"
