From Elder To Ancestor Old Age, Death And Inheritance In Modern Korea

This insightful account of the treatment and provision for an ageing population in South Korea is based on intensive fieldwork in the county of Puan in the southwest and adds considerably to the literature on what is happening in the fusion between older Korean culture and modern Western individualism. It revolves around an analysis of the roles of the individual and family in the ongoing development of a capitalist Asian society at the end of the twentieth century.Prendergast, David is the author of 'From Elder To Ancestor Old Age, Death And Inheritance In Modern Korea', published 2005 under ISBN 9781901903430 and ISBN 1901903435.
