She shows, in devastating detail, how we as a society failed our elderly population—and the lessons we must learn in order to avoid a similar catastrophe in the future.” * Harry Moody, former Vice President for Academic Affairs, AARP * “Unflinching and powerful. Through fierce and evocative prose, Gullette exposes the harsh realities many older adults faced during the COVID-19 pandemic and lays bare the systemic failures and personal tragedies that unfolded. American Eldercide underscores the urgent need to address ageism in our institutions—and ourselves.” * Tracey Gendron, author of Ageism Unmasked * “American Eldercide should stand beside Betty Friedan’s Fountain of Age and Dr. Robert N. Butler’s Pulitzer Prize-winning Why Survive? Being Old in America as essential reading about aging and ageism in the U.S.. Incisively researched and compellingly written, Gullette's riveting volume underscores the vitality and resilience of so many older Americans, especially those too readily dismissed as expendable by our youth-obsessed medical-industrial complex.” * Paul Kleyman, Co-Founder and National Coordinator, Journalists Network on Generations * Author InformationMargaret Morganroth Gullette is a cultural critic and anti-ageism pioneer whose prize-winning work is foundational in critical age studies.
