Title: A different shade of gray
Description: "A Different Shade of Gray offers us a glimpse into the lives of older African Americans and Latinos in pockets of New York City where wages are low, crime is often high, and elderly people find that there are few supports they can rely on. They are often called upon to pick up the pieces of their grandchildren's lives, just when they need to take a well-earned break from a lifetime of hard work.".

"What this means for the personal lives, family ties, and health of the nation's older inner-city dwellers is the focus of this original and illuminating study."--BOOK JACKET.
