Cultural Gerontology
While it is often taken for granted that the process of aging has its psychological, biological and sociological dimensions, gerontologists have not sufficiently explored the importance of cultural factors as these affect the aging process. The paper makes a plea for more studies in cultural gerontology by presenting a critical review of the non-anthropological literature on the "minority" and the ethnic elderly.

Étant donné que les effectifs noirs ne constituent…
