Omschrijving
Until now, there has been no one text that discusses the norms, beliefs, and behaviours that affect how societies respond to HIV/AIDS around the world. This volume synthesizes data from anthropology, psychology, sociology, biology, and medicine, and incorporates the author's more than two decades of work in the field.
Represents a long-overdue examination of anthropology's role in the fight against AIDS, bringing together the anthropological perspective and the problem of AIDS like no other."" - Brian Joseph Gilley, University of Vermont
Patricia Whelehan is professor of anthropology at the State University of New York, Potsdam.
