Other Ways of Growing Old Anthropological Perspectives

Edited by Pamela T Amoss & Stevan Harrell. Foreword by Carl Eisdorfer. How do different societies deal with the univer- sal problem of growing old, and what can the experience of

aging in other cultures tell us about our own? These papers explore unity and diversity in human aging, seeking to define those aspects that are human universals and must be planned for as inevitable, and those that as cultural particulars can be

changed under certain social conditions. The authors discuss the physiological and demographic aspects of aging, and of the

aging process as observed in two primate populations. They then develop a series of case studies describing old age in hu- man cultures very different from our own-settings as diverse as sub-arctic Canada, southwestern Africa, Micronesia, India, and the United States. $ 8.50

socialtheory's reattradi- tionr Preserving the viable work of Max Weber, Emile Durkheim, and Karl Marx, we also develop them in creative directions suggested (for example) by Antonio Gramsci, Barrngton Moore, C. Wright Mills, Max Horkheimer, Eric Hobsbawm, Jurgen Habemas, Michel Fou- cautt, and Raymond Williams. Rather than the partisan of some special theory, then, Theory and Society is the guardian of a larger theoretic culture. Subsidized neither by professional associa- tions, universities, nor private benefactors, Theory and Society has grown only because it publishes work of excel- ence and interest to its readers.

Comparative Studies in Society and History is a forum for presentation and discussion of new research into problems of change and stability that recur in human societies through time or in the contemporary world. It sets up a

working alliance between specialists in all branches of the social sciences and humanities. Debate and review articles bring the general reader in touch with current findings and issues.

NOTES FOR CONTRIBUTORS

Contributions may be descriptive, analytical or theoretical. Any article not in itself comparative may be accepted if it lends itself to comment that will place it in comparative perspective. Correspondence with the editors prior to the submission of articles will help to enable them to obtain such comment or a

companion study. Emphasis in comparative studies may be either on similarities or, if these are significant enough and call for some recasting of generalizations, on differences. All contributions and editorial corre- spondence should be sent to the Editors, Comparative Studies in Society and History, Department of History, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michi- gan 48109.

Two copies of each contribution, preferably accompanied by a stamped, addressed envelope, should be submitted. Both text and footnotes should be clearly typed with double spacing and wide margins; footnotes should appear on separate pages at the end of the article. Illustrations may be included by arrangement with the editors.

Contributors will receive 50 offprints. Any additional offprints must be ordered on receipt of the first proof.
