HIV Kinship, Disability, and Queer/Trans Narratives of Care

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Queers and trans people in the 1980s and early ‘90s were dying of AIDS and the government failed to care. Lovers, strangers, artists, and community activists came together take care of each other in the face of state violence.These early HIV care-giving narratives continue to shape how we understand our genders and our disabilities, forming ongoing chosen families for body self-determination.
