Aging in America: Professors study offers hope for fear of getting old by Matt Steecker-- The Ithaca Journal Yohko Tsuji offers carefully crafted prose and an inviting tone that welcomes the reader to share her three decades of research on community-based aging. She begins with a critical overview of the anthropological scholarship on aging, giving students and colleagues a firm foundation in anthropological approaches to aging and why they are distinctly powerful. A native of Japan, she draws on both emic and etic perspectives in discussing how culture informs social networks based on mutual support, friendship, kinship and proximity. --Maria Vesperi co-editor of Anthropology off the Shelf: Anthropologists on Writing Through Japanese Eyes is a warm and sympathetic portrait of mutual support and cooperation among older people in the US. Spanning from the 1980s through to the present day, it reveals the value of long-term personal engagement with a research site and subject matter. --Iza Kavedzija author of Making Meaningful Lives: Tales from an Aging Japan Anthropologist examines aging in U.S. 'Through Japanese Eyes, ' by Kate Blackwood https: //news.cornell.edu/stories/2020/11/anthropologist-examines-aging-us-through-japanese-eyes-- Cornell Chronicle
