Thurka Sangaramoorthy

Treating AIDS

Politics of Difference, Paradox of Prevention

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

There is an inherently powerful and complex paradox underlying HIV/AIDS prevention - between the focus on collective advocacy mobilised to combat global HIV/AIDS and the staggeringly disproportionate rates of HIV/AIDS in many places. In Treating AIDS, Thurka Sangaramoorthy examines the everyday practises of HIV/AIDS prevention in the US from the perspective of AIDS experts and Haitian immigrants in South Florida.
