Welcome to Middle Age! : (and Other Cultural Fictions) Paperback - 1998

by Richard A. Shweder (Editor)

  • Used

Many of us believe we recognize the symptoms of middle age--lower back pain, mortgages, and an aversion to loud late-night activities. WELCOME TO MIDDLE AGE! explores the significance of this pervasive cultural representation alongside the alternative "fictions" that represent the life course in other regions of the world where middle age does not exist. Illustrated.
