两个老妇人,一个白人,一个黑人,扔一个绿色的气球

尤妮斯和伊莱娜住在南非小镇上一个由阿非利卡妇女慈善机构经营的老年本垒打里. After white-minority rule ended in 1994, old age homes, like other social welfare and health care spaces, were racially integrated. 几代人在种族隔离时期相互支持或反对, like Eunice and Elinah, now found themselves living together at the end of life. 我在南非和美国的研究表明,种族主义和年龄歧视如何交织在一起,形成了获得住房的不平等机会——这是所有人都应该享有的一项基本人权——以及老年人如何在种族暴力之后和解和记忆.”
