God's Waiting Room: Racial Reckoning at Life's End - Casey Golomski

Descriere God's Waiting Room: Racial Reckoning at Life's End - Casey Golomski

Can older racists change their tune, or will they haunt us further once they're gone? Rich in mystery and life's lessons, God's Waiting Room considers what matters in the end for older white adults and the younger Black nurses who care for them. An innovation in creative nonfiction, Casey Golomski's story of his years of immersive research at a nursing home in South Africa, thirty years after the end of apartheid, is narrated as a one-day, room-by-room tour. The story is told in breathtakingly intimate and witty conversations with the home's residents and nurses, including the untold story of Nelson Mandela's Robben Island prison nurse, and readers learn how ageism, sexism, and racism intersect and impact health care both in South Africa and in the United States, as well as create conditions in which people primed to be enemies find grace despite the odds. \nCourse or Book Club Reading and Discussion Guide (https: //dhjhkxawhe8q4.cloudfront.net/rup-wp-v2/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/04135941/gods-waiting-room_reading-questions.pdf) \n \n For copyright reasons, this edition is not available in the South African Development Community and Kenya.\n
