Rich qualitative findings detail sociocultural barriers to and social and emotive factors that promote second language acquisition in older age. The book’s case study highlights diverse cognitive and social processes as elders establish a sense of self as learners and as part of a learning community, and a sense of place as newcomers navigating a challenging environment. And first-person comments from the group members deftly illustrate the intricacies of being an immigrant in a rapidly changing America as well as the myriad intersections of race\/ethnicity, gender, culture, and country that shape immigrant life.\u003c\/p\u003e Included in the coverage:\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e        Minority aging in an immigrant context.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e        Late-life second language acquisition: cognitive andpsycholinguistic changes, challenges, and opportunities.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e         Building emotions for self-identity and learning.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e         Practicing safe language socialization in private and public spaces.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e         Language resocialization and gender allies.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e         Aging, second language acquisition, and health.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eAging in a Second Language\u003c\/i\u003e gives clinical social workers, gerontologists, health and cross-cultural psychologists, sociologists, educators and other professionals deep insights into the lives of an emerging active elder population.
