一个人最后的旅程
本书是继女性问题之后，上野千鹤子关注的又一个重要的社会领域。与女性一样，作为庞大的弱势群体，老年人的生活在经历了长期的被忽视之后，终于进入了人们的视野。在这个超老龄化社会中，老年人的晚年是否可以在家中安度？他们与子女的关系究竟如何？社会医疗和保障机构应该扮演什么样的角色？
上野千鹤子通过深入的社会调查和思考，对上述问题提出了独到见解，并提出了具有可操作性的养老规划方案。她在分析了老后居家看护医疗状况以及多位临终者的实际案例后，主张即使没有亲友，或是身患阿尔茨海默症的老人，也能选择一个人居家养老临终，有尊严并安心地走完人生最后的旅程。
本书详细解答了老年人应该如何实现居家养老，是一本相当实用的晚年居家养老规划书。本书是写过希望临终前能有完善规划的人的，同时也写给那些想要让家人走得安稳舒适的亲友们的对于同日本一样越来越为老龄化问题所困扰的中国来说，这是一部直击社会痛点并提供解决方案的建设性作品，对于社会机构配套和政府规划层面，也具有极高的借鉴意义和参考价值。
本书附赠上野女士独家授权的中文版特编手册，能够让无暇细读的人们在半小时之内领略本书的大意。

About the author
Chizuko Ueno
129 books277 followersChizuko Ueno is a Japanese sociologist and Japan's "best-known feminist".
Her research field includes feminist theory, family sociology, and women's history. She is best known for her contribution to gender studies in Japan. As a public intellectual, she played a central role in creating the field of gender studies in Japanese academia. At the same time, her radical tendency and strong character has invited criticism (she described herself as "critical, assertive, and disobedient").
Ueno is a trenchant critic of postwar revisionism and criticizes the whitewashing of Japanese history, which she claims attempts to justify its colonialism, wartime atrocities, and racism both before and after World War II. In particular, she has defended the compensation of Korean comfort women who were forced into prostitution by the Empire of Japan.

Not bad, full of different case studies, depicting the diversity of death. I decided to read this book to better understand the realistic side of death and also better understand myself — what kind of death or aging am I looking for? Overall, a great read.

这可能是我读的第一本探讨死亡的书，在读本书之前的不久，我就在思考人会如何死去。在变得行动不便、无法照顾自己生活起居之后，人要如何继续生活下去？本书给了我许多启发，最为重要的可能是“在家里临终会让人更安心”，而“人缓慢去世的过程，很多时候是不需要医疗介入的”。虽然以前也读过关于“临终不做介入性治疗”，比如不插管、不抢救等，当时听闻是为了缓解临终者的痛苦，读了这本才又深刻认识到这点。也很感动本书流淌着的女性视角，似乎只有女性的独居群体之间能建立起临终陪护的小组，我希望我也能在朋友们的爱之中离世。也好想成为上野老师的忘年交呀，想陪伴她走过最后的时光。

不愿委身于传统婚姻结构的女性们在积极地探索关系、生存与死亡。
