| Annotation | Gerontology in South Africa needs to be freed from the stereotyped images of the "warm, loving, caring, socially-oriented ..." African generations on the one hand, and the "cold, technology-oriented" Western generations on the other. A discursive narrative approach is suggested as an attempt to explore the multiplicity of the ageing experience towards an African-appropriate gerontology. (RH). |
