Focusing on a range of twentieth and twenty-first century texts - including fiction, film, and television documentary - from Aotearoa New Zealand and the Caribbean diaspora, this groundbreaking study establishes the subfield of postcolonial ageing studies.

The first study of its kind to offer a sustained engagement with representations of old age across contemporary postcolonial and Indigenous literary and cinematographic texts, this book frames postcolonial ageing studies as necessary for understanding age and ageing in a world living with the consequences of colonisation. In doing so, Timms foregrounds how postcolonial writers and directors imagine ageing otherwise to empire's legacies by offering creative and critical interventions to ever-growing cultural and social concerns on elderhood, care, and dementia.
