Review
"This groundbreaking volume draws on a broad array of methodologies and disciplines to bring into relief the social and economic forces that have made AIDS the leading infectious cause of young adult death globally. Rejecting fashionable explanations of AIDS in Africa, this book reveals such explanations to be rooted in racism, victim–blaming, disciplinary blindness, and shoddy research.
Meticulously documented, HIV and AIDS in Africa is a treasure trove of information – just what many policymakers, epidemiologists, and clinicians need to hear, whether we want to or not.

Cambridge University Press
"This book is essential reading, as it tackles the critical arguments...it represents a call to all researchers working with HIV/AIDS to take account...first book that tackles the misperceptions...the collec
