520 _aIssues about aging within immigrant populations have been studied both by public bodies and the social sciences. But many of these studies show that this population is invisible within the discourse of social work professionals, and those who work with the elderly more generally. This article analyzes the construction of social representations, constructs that feed a dialectic of visibility and paradoxical invisibility in the eyes of gerontology professionals. They result from a form of “blindness” among these actors, but also from immigrants’ own strategies as they seek to hide from stereotyped social judgments—often experienced as a form of depreciative recognition by public actors.
