Minority Aged: A Bibliography. Urban Disadvantaged Series, Number 49.
Molina, Alexis
This bibliography on the minority aged consists of 368 references. The term "minority" is defined by participation in a racial ethnic group. The first section provides references to the general gerontological literature dealing with aging in western and/or industrial societies. The second section provides references on the cultural context of aging. It includes anthropological and cross cultural studies. The third section is devoted to minority groups. Its first concentration provides references on general topics such as urban areas, low income groups, ethnicity, and race. The second concentration of references compares several racial/ethnic groups; for instance one may find here comparisons between Mexican Americans, blacks, and whites. The last group of references are broken down into individual ethnic groups as follows: Filipino Americans, Poles, Jews, American Indians, Asian Americans, Mexican Americans, Cubans, Puerto Ricans, Spanish Speaking and Blacks. Although arranged by ethnic groups, these studies usually make comparisons with other groups, particularly with whites. A subject index is provided. (Author/AM)
