Morality, Hope and Grief: Anthropologies of AIDS in Africa (Epistemologies of Healing) Paperback - 2012

by Hansjörg Dilger [Editor]; Ute Luig [Editor];


From the publisher

The HIV/AIDS epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa has been addressed and perceived predominantly through the broad perspectives of social and economic theories as well as public health and development discourses. This volume however, focuses on the micro-politics of illness, treatment and death in order to offer innovative insights into the complex processes that shape individual and community responses to AIDS. The contributions describe the dilemmas that families, communities and health professionals face and shed new light on the transformation of social and moral orders in African societies, which have been increasingly marginalised in the context of global modernity.
