Landscapes of Activism

Civil Society, HIV and AIDS Care in Northern Mozambique

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

AIDS activists are often romanticized as extremely noble and selfless. However, the relationships among HIV support group members highlighted in Landscapes of Activism are hardly utopian or ideal. The product of in-depth ethnography and focused anthropological inquiry, this is the first book on AIDS activists in Mozambique.
