Viral Frictions

Global Health and the Persistence of HIV Stigma in Kenya

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Takes the reader along a trail of intersecting narratives to uncover how and why it is that HIV-related stigma persists in the age of treatment. Pfeiffer convincingly argues that stigma is a socially constructed process co-produced at the nexus of local, national, and global relationships and storytelling about and practices associated with HIV.
