Acerca de esta escucha

Embracing Age: How Catholic Nuns Became Models of Aging Well examines a community of individuals whose aging trajectories contrast mainstream American experiences. In mainstream American society, aging is presented as a “problem”, a state to be avoided as long as possible, a state that threatens one’s ability to maintain independence, autonomy, control over one’s surroundings. Aging “well” (or avoiding aging) has become a 21st-century American preoccupation.

Embracing Age provides a window into the everyday lives of American Catholic nuns who experience longevity and remarkable health and well-being at the end of life. Catholic nuns aren’t only healthier in older age; they are healthier because they practice a culture of acceptance and grace around aging. Embracing Age demonstrates how aging in the convent becomes understood by the nuns to be a natural part of the life course, not one to be feared or avoided.

Anna I. Corwin shows listeners how Catholic nuns create a cultural community that provides a model for how to grow old, decline, and die that is both embedded in American culture and quite distinct from other American models.

My favorite books are the ones that make me think deeply or see a subject with a fresh set of eyes. I picked up Embracing Aging because it’s a topic I’ve been thinking a lot about. What I got was more than I bargained for in a good way. With substantial research studies to back up her ideas, Corwin explores cultural practices within the nunnery under a microscope, highlighting what the rest of us stand to learn through such a lens. Utterly relevant and meticulously crafted, Corwin depicts a tightly woven microcosm whose practices could spill over from the pages and be utilized by the reader upon completion. I can easily see this text being applicable to the everyday reader interested in the topic of aging well or dissected/analyzed in a university setting. Either way, it won’t fail to make you question our cultural norms and consider whether a better way to age exists, waiting to be emulated.
