br Finalist 2020 Elliott P Skinner Award given by the Association of Africanist AnthropologybrExamines why African care workers feel politically excluded from the United States Care for Americas growing elderly population is increasingly provided by migrants and the demand for health care labor is only expected to grow Because of this health care crunch and the low barriers to entry new African immigrants have adopted elder care as a niche employment sector funneling their friends and relatives into this occupation However elder care puts care workers into racialized gendered and age hierarchies making it difficult for them to achieve social and economic mobilityIn The New American Servitude Coe demonstrates how these workers often struggle to find a sense of political and social belonging They are regularly subjected to racial insults and demonstrations of powerand effectively turned into servantsat the hands of other members of the care worker network including clients and their relatives agency staff and even other care workers Low pay a lack of benefits and a lack of stable employment combined with a lack of appreciation for their efforts often alienate them so that many come to believe that they cannot lead valuable lives in the United States While jobs are a means of acculturating new immigrants African care workers dont tend to become involved or politically active Many plan to leave rather than putting down roots in the USOffering revealing insights into the dark side of a burgeoning economy The New American Servitude carries serious implications for the future of labor and justice in the care work industry.

However, the industry is rife with contradictions. The United States spends a fortune on medical care, yet devotes comparatively few resources on improving wages, thus placing home care providers in the ranks of the working poor. As a result, the work that enables some older Americans to live independently generates profound social inequalities.Inequalities of Aging explores the ways in which these inequalities play out on the ground as workers, who are disproportionately women of color and immigrants, earn poverty-level wages and often struggle to provide for themselves and their families. The ethnographic narrative reveals how two of the nation\'s most pressing concerns--rising social inequality and caring for an aging population--intersect to transform the lives of older adults, home care workers, and the world around them.The book takes readers inside the homes and offices of people connected to two Chicago area home care agencies serving low-income and affluent older adults, respectively. Through intimate portrayals of daily life, Elana D. Buch illustrates how diverse histories, care practices, and social policies overlap and contribute to social inequality.Illuminating the lived experience of both workers and their clients, Inequalities of Aging shows the different ways in which the idea of independence both connects and shapes the lives of the elderly and the working poor.
