{"product_id":"beyond-filial-piety-jeanne-shea-9781789207880","title":"Beyond Filial Piety: Rethinking Aging and Caregiving in Contemporary East Asian Societies","description":"\u003cp\u003e Known for a tradition of Confucian filial piety, East Asian societies have some of the oldest and most rapidly aging populations on earth. Today these societies are experiencing unprecedented social challenges to the filial tradition of adult children caring for aging parents at home. Marshalling mixed methods data, this volume explores the complexities of aging and caregiving in contemporary East Asia. Questioning romantic visions of a senior's paradise, chapters examine emerging cultural meanings of and social responses to population aging, including caregiving both for and by the elderly. Themes include traditional ideals versus contemporary realities, the role of the state, patterns of familial and non-familial care, social stratification, and intersections of caregiving and death. Drawing on ethnographic, demographic, policy, archival, and media data, the authors trace both common patterns and diverging trends across China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Japan, and Korea.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeanne Shea\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1789207886\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781789207880\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.94d","brand":"Jeanne Shea","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43983151497471,"sku":"9781789207880","price":149.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1bfc1f21-b820-46fc-83c1-794b64f3dffb.jpg?v=1683264964","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/beyond-filial-piety-jeanne-shea-9781789207880","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
