With today’s intensifying concentration of wealth and corporatisation, precarity is the fate for growing numbers of the world’s population. Intersectionality as an analytic concept offers a new appreciation of how social advantage and disadvantage accumulate, and how constructions of race, ethnicity, class, ability, and gender influence aging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book’s entries offer a bibliographic compendium, crediting the salience of early pioneering theorists and locating these within the cutting-edge of research (social, behavioural, policy, and gene–environment sciences) that currently advances our understandings of human development, trauma, and resilience. Accompanying these foundations are theories of resistance for advancing human rights and the dignity of marginalised populations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAging A-Z\u003c\/em\u003e by Carroll L.
