Diamond demonstrates in a compelling way the price that business-as-usual policies extract from the elderly as well as those whose work it is to care for them.In a society in which some two million people live in 16,000 nursing homes, with their numbers escalating daily, this thought-provoking work demands immediate and widespread attention.\"[An] unnerving portrait of what it's like to work and live in a nursing home. . . . By giving voice to so many unheard residents and workers Diamond has performed an important service for us all.\"-Diane Cole, New York Newsday\"With Making Gray Gold, Timothy Diamond describes the commodification of long-term care in the most vivid representation in a decade of round-the-clock institutional life. . . . A personal addition to the troublingly impersonal national debate over healthcare reform.\"-Madonna Harrington Meyer, Contemporary Sociology\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51678233559328,"sku":"NEW0226144747","price":29.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61aARKSUvwL.jpg?v=1779307618","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/making-gray-gold-narratives-of-nursing-home-care-women-in-culture-and-society-0226144747","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
