Описание:

Contemporary social policy compels seniors who require assistance with personal or household tasks to obtain help from‘the community’–a term that most often means ‘women’ family members. Much is written about ‘caregiver burden’ but little research explores the experiences of older women who are the recipients of home care. Social policy with its reliance on family as care givers is an inadequate response that entraps and marginalizes women both as caregivers and as care recipients. Care recipients engage in work that involves resistance and raging against injustice in their daily practice of negotiating homecare. Rage as resistance is an appropriate response to the experience of marginalizationand silencing among older women care recipients. Angry seniors is an image that claims rage as a legitimate force; it is an image of older women that calls for reconstruction and research to uncover its legitimate power in the daily lives of care recipients.
