Abstract

"This book takes an anthropological look at how the elderly are cared for in the northern Thailand city of Chiang Mai, where the author did most of her fieldwork, and where its society is rapidly aging. It explores care in practice from everyday tasks to care for one's group, care for the polity and looks at how religious, social, and political structures affect this care"--
