In The Black Elderly: Satisfaction and Quality of Later Life, authors Marguerite Coke and James Twaite present the results of an empirical study of factors that influence the well-being of older black Americans. Like all older individuals in industrial nations, elderly blacks are confronted with negative attitudes toward old people. But in spite of their minority status in society, with its economic and social disadvantages, elderly blacks have effective coping strategies for dealing with growing old. It is the success of these coping strategies that the authors reveal to readers and upon which they build recommendations to encourage healthy aging in the black community.Through comprehensive research into the subject, the authors provide readers with a theoretical framework which identifies the variables that are most closely associated with subjective well-being among older Blacks. An empirical test of the model is described and the questionnaire is included.Professionals and scholars in social work, gerontology, African-American studies, and anthropology will find The Black Elderly a positive approach to supporting the elderly black community. Readers with interests in cross-cultural aspects of counseling and gerontology will find much enlightenment in this book with its research and insight on: history: overviews West African culture and the role of history in the development of the black American family church: analyzes the function and importance of this institution on the black community family: explores the importance of family and how it affects life satisfaction health: determines how perceived health status affects individuals'feelings of life satisfactionThe authors'findings on the strong and diverse support systems of this group assist professionals, students, and policymakers in better understanding how to continue to effect healthy aging for black Americans. The Black Elderly is of particular interest to social workers, students in social work programs, and professionals who deal with aging persons or the black community and can benefit from historical background knowledge of blacks in this country and how societal institutions affect the well-being of this group.

Changes in economics & demographics have resulted in the increased use of home remedies by the elderly, particularly those on fixed incomes. Traditional remedies, including those based on herbal medicine, continue to find widespread use among the urban & rural Black elderly. The authors have interviewed elderly black patients to develop a manual describing their use of products as diverse as alum, molasses, moth balls, & olive oil. The trends in usage of home remedies & possible detrimental effects of folk remedies are discussed. In addition, more than 100 individual folk remedies are discussed with annotations to the scientific literature. Developed by the College of Pharmacy & Institute of Gerontology of the University of Michigan, this book is a useful guide for those who must interact with the elderly of all races, particularly with respect to their self-medication practices.
