This thought-provoking and intellectually stimulating treatise serves as an accessible introduction to emancipatory gerontology, delving into various dimensions of persistent and fiercely debated topics surrounding aging, the life course, the roles of power, politics, and partisanship, culture, economics, and communications. Critical perspectives are presented as definitions for the reader's understanding, with links to concepts of identity, knowledge construction, social networks, social movements, and inequalities. In the face of today's escalating concentration of wealth and corporatization, precarity becomes the unfortunate fate for an increasing number of the world's population. Intersectionality, as an analytic concept, offers a fresh appreciation of how social advantage and disadvantage accumulate, as well as how constructions of race, ethnicity, class, ability, and gender influence aging.

The book's entries provide a comprehensive bibliographic compendium, acknowledging the significance of early pioneering theorists and placing them at the forefront of research (social, behavioral, policy, and gene–environment sciences) that currently advances our understanding of human development, trauma, and resilience. Accompanying these foundations are theories of resistance for advancing human rights and the dignity of marginalized populations.
