Book Description

Publication Date: August 15, 2000 | Series: Social Aspects of Aids Series

Among the chief themes of this book are the representation of AIDS in the mass media and in the arts, and the encouragement of a wider understanding of the personal impact of AIDS and its social experience, particularly among those social groups living with the highest levels of illness, death and mourning. Offering a chronicle of the changing and often confusing course of the epidemic and the shifting responses to it, the author hopes to cast light on the obstacles faced by policy-makers contending with a crisis unprecedented, not least in relation to the most seriously affected social constituencies.

Editorial Reviews

'Simon Watney is one of the most brilliant and engaged writers on AIDS in the English speaking world. ... He wants commitment to the battle against HIV and AIDS, gives it wholeheartedly himself, and his prose reverberates with his own total commitment.' - Jeffrey Weeks, South Bank University
