In this book, we present the findings of a groundbreaking study conducted with black, elderly women regarding their knowledge: their perspectives on ageing, work, sexuality and religiosity. This book is intended for anyone interested in the theme of 'education and ageing' with a focus on gender and race. The analyses were inspired by Michel Foucault's work *The Order of Discourse* (2013) and examine these women's discourses in relation to power dynamics: \"With which other discourses do they engage?\"; \" With which discourses do they engage in polemics or conflict?\"; \"What are the strategies for adhering to dominant discourses and what are the strategies of resistance?\"; \"What power relations enabled them to say what was said and in the way it was said?\". And perhaps here lies a possible answer to Foucault's question: \"But what, after all, is so dangerous about people speaking and their discourses proliferating indefinitely? Where, after all, lies the danger?\" (FOUCAULT, 2013, p.8).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Our Knowledge Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47812884234391,"sku":"9786209857782","price":5027.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9786209857782.webp?v=1778331949","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-wisdom-of-the-old-black-women-9786209857782","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
