Produktbeschreibung

"This inspiring book sets the stage for the arrival of the AIDS epidemic in Tari. With the collapse of the state, some women turn to transactional sex for school fees and basic goods. A chorus of women tell stories of rape and abandonment and of their resilience in adopting forms of self-care that include protection for others."--Shirley Lindenbaum, author of Kuru Sorcery: Disease and Danger in the New Guinea Highlands "Fencing in AIDS is a superb book that creates a consummate connection between an intimate ethnography of gender, sexuality, and HIV amongst Huli people in Papua New Guinea and the structural contours of the economy and politics in that country, engaging the global literature on sex, love, HIV, the state, extractive industries, and moral philosophy."--Margaret Jolly, Professor in the School of Culture, History & Language, Australian National University "Holly Wardlow's thoughtful analysis of changing gender relations reminds us once again why New Guinea societies have figured so importantly in anthropology. Engagingly written, the book offers vignettes of women and situations that are tough and touching."--Susan Reynolds Whyte, editor of Second Chances: Surviving AIDS in Uganda
