“The beauty of this important book lies in its conclusion… This book provides the roadmap that has led us to our current dilemmas and offers the path forward to a truly just society for all.”
..this illuminating book takes us through the background and trajectory of the elder justice framework and what is needed for it to further evolve and finally meet the needs of older adults. True elder justice lies in eliminating all the facets of society that systematically exclude older adults from their basic human rights: ageism, paternalism, and , in some cases, frank discrimination. I am glad Ms. Nerenberg has given of herself to create this much needed guide for what we must do to ensure a society that demands elder justice. Terry Fulmer, President
The John A. Hartford Foundation This deeply insightful book is essential reading not only for anyone who works with or on behalf of older adults, but also for everyone who committed to any aspect of social justice and human rights. Conceptualizing “elder justice” beyond the prevailing connotation of freedom from elder abuse and contextualizing ageism within that broader framework, this cutting-edge volume articulates the principles and approaches needed to realize a society that is truly just for all of us as we age—and, by extension, throughout our life spans.

Nationally recognized gerontological social work thought leader As a legal advocate for older adults, I appreciated Lisa Nerenberg’s ability to see the bigger picture on issues impacting older adults. Her holistic framing of elder justice and analysis of the field from multiple socio-political lenses left me with many “aha” moments that continue to inform my legal practice.

Lisa Nerenberg provides the first comprehensive look at elder abuse prevention trends and strategies... She offers a meaningful response to many challenges endemic to elder abuse work. As a result, Lisa gives hope to the field... Beginning as a grassroots advocate a quarter century ago in San Francisco, Lisa developed and tested many viable elder abuse prevention programs herself..before exploring best practices elsewhere. This unique evolution and perspective give her the depth and breadth of understanding needed to write a book like this.
