Yet in public and scholarly debates, aspirations are often seen as the realm of younger, mobile generations, since they are assumed to hold the greatest potential for shaping the future. This volume flips this perspective on its head by exploring how aspirations are constructed from the vantage point of later life, and shows how they are pursued across time, space, and generations. The aspirations of older people are diverse, and relate not only to aging itself but also to planning the next generation’s future, preparing an \"ideal\" retirement, searching for intimacy and self-realization, and confronting death and afterlives. \u003ci\u003eAspiring in Later Life\u003c\/i\u003e brings together rich ethnographic cases from different regions of the world, offering original insights into how aspirations shift over the course of life and how they are pursued in contexts of translocal mobility.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis book is also freely available online as an open-access digital edition.​\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDownload the open access book here.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40970004004961,"sku":"9781978830400","price":27.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_37504215_b87dd911-2a63-4a28-b082-c4e24b893550.jpg?v=1762101608","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781978830400-aspiring-in-later-life","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
