Highlights
This volume engages in a constant dialogue with Charlotte Ikels’s (2004), Filial Piety: Practice and Discourse in Contemporary East Asia
As the editors state in the introduction, traditional Confucian ideas of filial piety that prescribe adult children to fulfill their obligations to respect, obey and care for their elderly parents have become increasingly more difficult to put into practice, given the unprecedented acceleration of population aging in East Asian societies (1)
The book is divided into three macro sections according to specific cultural areas, but all the parts describe socio-cultural contexts rooted in Confucian traditions of filial piety
Summary
This volume engages in a constant dialogue with Charlotte Ikels’s (2004), Filial Piety: Practice and Discourse in Contemporary East Asia. Beyond Filial Piety: Rethinking Aging and Caregiving in Contemporary East Asian Societies.
