"When the term "ageism" was coined in 1969, many problems of exclusion seemed resolved
by government programs like Social Security and Medicare. As people live longer lives,
today's great demotions of older people cut deeper into their self-worth and human
relations, beyond the reach of law or public policy. In Ending Ageism, or How Not
to Shoot Old People, award-winning writer and cultural critic Margaret Morganroth
Gullette confronts the offenders: the ways people aging past midlife are portrayed
in the media, by adult offspring; the esthetics and politics of representation in
photography, film, and theater; and the incitement to commit suicide for those with
early signs of "dementia." In this original and important book, Gullette presents
evidence of pervasive age-related assaults in contemporary societies and their chronic
affects. The sudden onset of age-related shaming can occur anywhere--the shove in
the street, the cold shoulder at the party, the deaf ear at the meeting, the shut-out
by the personnel office or the obtuseness of a government. Turning intimate suffering
into public grievances, Ending Ageism, Or How Not to Shoot Old People effectively
and beautifully argues that overcoming ageism is the next imperative social movement
of our time" -- From the publisher
