Infected Kin

Orphan Care and AIDS in Lesotho

Beschreibung

AIDS has devastated communities across southern Africa. In Lesotho, the wide-ranging implications of the disease have been felt in every family, disrupting key aspects of social life. Ellen Block and Will McGrath argue that AIDS is fundamentally a kinship disease, and examine the ways it seeps into kin relations and networks of care.
