Produktbeschreibung

Dancing for Their Lives delves into the world of retired Chinese “dancing grannies” who seek fulfillment amid broad social transformation. Based on ethnographic research, it challenges conventional narratives of aging by portraying old age as a site of innovation. It examines how retirees navigate changing norms and offers insights on resilience and meaning in later life that resonate globally.
