Reviews
A deeply localized and richly depicted narrative of aging in Sri Lanka. Gamburd skillfully situates the processes of how families care for elder loved ones within the wide, global context of aging in the twenty-first century. As a result, Linked Lives' novel insights about aging in Sri Lanka create a highly engaging and valuable case study, applicable to many similar places in the global south facing rapid population aging. --Benjamin Capistrant associate professor, Smith College Linked Lives is an insightful and valuable book on the complex ties between migration, care, and aging. Michele Ruth Gamburd traces malleable lives and livelihoods that need to be recast in the context of shifting economies and social relations, confronting the risks and rewards associated with them. Her work will be an important resource for researchers, students, and readers in challenging times when care, migration, and social ties are being tested across the world. --Kavita Sivaramakrishnan author of As the World Ages: Rethinking a Demographic Crisis
