Surviving Dependence
Author: Mary Ball
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351863517
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
To date there has not been a clear look at the home care experience of older African Americans. "Surviving Dependence: Voices of African American Elders" attempts to meet the need for recording and interpreting the ordinary life of elderly African Americans on their own terms, in their own surroundings, and in so far as possible, in their own words. Ball and Whittington's research is unique in two ways: it focuses on older people who are African American and poor, and it describes the viewpoint of care recipients and their relationships with the public programs designed to help them. This book provides an in-depth view of the experiences of these seven frail elders as both care receivers and as active participants in their own care. The two primary themes the significant disabilities that often accompany old age and the tenacious will and ability to cope possessed by our informants are reflected in the title: "Surviving Dependence."

A bouncer at a Utah bar takes on a killer far more frightening than his usual rowdy clientele… Jake Boulder, a tough transplanted Scotsman, makes his living throwing aggressive drunks out of a bar in Utah called the Joshua Tree. It may be a dangerous job sometimes, but it’s nothing compared to what he’s about to take on. His friend Alfonse—who also stands out a bit in this small Utah town, as a bookish, tech-savvy African-American PI—has asked for his help investigating the vicious murder of a local party girl. Soon, he finds himself tracking a serial killer who selects his next victim in a most unusual manner. As the body count rises, Boulder has to work with the police to identify the heinous killer before more lives are taken.
