Exploring shadowy worlds of dreams and memories, of ghosts and specters, of pasts that refuse to let people go, the book is a landmark contribution to the emerging field of imagistic scholarship.\"--\u003cb\u003eTine M. Gammeltoft\u003c\/b\u003e, University of Copenhagen \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"The essays in this book present sensitive, thoughtfully rendered comparative ethnographies of care in late life. These ethnographies span a remarkable geographic and contextual range, from a dementia ward in Denmark, to homes of older African Americans in Los Angeles, to apartments in Kyrgyzstan, to villages in Uganda. Together, they comprise a stunningly varied array of experiences of care in later life 'in contexts where aging is marked by profound bodily or social precarity.' With societies around the world growing proportionally older, these careful ethnographically grounded analyses of care in late life are of utmost importance both to anthropology and to society.\"--\u003cb\u003eJessica Robbins\u003c\/b\u003e, Wayne State University \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eImagistic Care\u003c\/i\u003e explores ethnographically how images function in our concepts, our writing, our fieldwork, and our lives.
