Book Synopsis Growing Old in El Barrio by : Judith Freidenberg
Book excerpt: In Growing Old in El Barrio, Judith Noemi Freidenberg addresses the life-course and daily experiences of the elderly residents of El Barrio. She interweaves the economy of immigrant neighborhoods with the personal experiences of Latinos aging in Harlem. Freidenberg further links policy issues -- such as persistent poverty in urban enclaves and the provision of health and social services to an aging population -- to social issues critical to the daily lives of this population.
