Résumé
Across Africa, a quiet demographic shift is underway. Life expectancy is rising, families are migrating, and the extended family, the continent's oldest safety net, is carrying weight it was never designed to bear alone. Love for our elders is no longer enough. Love must be organized. In Aging as a Collective Journey, social worker, researcher, and elder care advocate Lilian Oyama blends professional expertise with the wisdom of African traditions to offer a practical roadmap for preparing for aging with dignity.
From health and nutrition to pensions, widows' rights, family caregiving, age-friendly communities, and the promise of technology, this book examines the realities families and communities must confront as populations live longer. Grounded in the African philosophy of Ubuntu and the belief that aging is a collective responsibility, Aging as a Collective Journey explores how individuals, families, communities, professionals, and policymakers can work together to create stronger systems of care and support.
This book is especially valuable for:. Individuals preparing for their own later years. Families caring for aging parents and relatives. Caregivers and elder care professionals. African and diaspora communities. Social workers and community leaders. Policymakers and advocates working to improve the lives of older adultsAging should not be approached only when a crisis occurs. Preparation should begin long before care is urgently needed.
The question is not whether we will grow old. It is whether we will grow old together-prepared, supported, and honored.
