‘This edited volume provides valuable insights for anyone seeking to improve their understanding and knowledge of sexuality, disability and inclusivity in later life. The authors weave together scholarship from various disciplines to provide a fresh way of looking at older age and sexual citizenship. Students in the social sciences in particular will benefit from the insights offered in this collection.’ Sharon Hinchliff, University of Sheffield 'Breaking the limits imposed on who can desire and be desired, this book radically expands the boundaries of sexuality in later life. The concept of an ""aesthetic of sexuality"" in older people with illnesses or disabilities shifts the conversation from mere tolerance of difference to an acknowledgment—and even expectation—of attractiveness. Bringing together perspectives from diverse countries and disciplines, this work makes a vital contribution to gerontology, sexology, and disability studies.' Alex Kalache, physician and gerontologist, and former director of Department of Ageing and Health at OMS and at ILC Brazil
