<br/><br/> Annotation  Hazan (sociology and anthropology, Tel-Aviv U.) illuminates aspects of the existential experience of elderly retirees, through an ethnographic study of an old-age home in Israel. Among his themes are the micropolitics of control, the tension between diminishing resources and the goal of sustaining long-term meaning, and the distinctive features of the Israeli situation.
