This first hand report on the work of nurses and other caregivers in a nursing home is set powerfully in the context of wider political, economic, and cultural forces that shape and constrain the quality of care for America's elderly. Diamond demonstrates in a compelling way the price that businessasusual policies extract from the elderly as well as those whose work it is to care for them.In a society in which some two million people live in 16,000 nursing homes, with their numbers escalating daily, this thoughtprovoking work demands immediate and widespread attention.'[An] unnerving portrait of what it's like to work and live in a nursing home. . . . By giving voice to so many unheard residents and workers Diamond has performed an important service for us all.'Diane Cole, New York Newsday'With Making Gray Gold, Timothy Diamond describes the commodification of longterm care in the most vivid representation in a decade of roundtheclock institutional life. . . . A personal addition to the troublingly impersonal national debate over healthcare reform.'Madonna Harrington Meyer, Contemporary Sociology
