Meticulously documented, HIV and AIDS in Africa is a
treasure trove of information – just what many policymakers,
epidemiologists, and clinicians need to hear, whether we want to or
not. But the book deserves a far wider audience. For ‘any
interventions that fail to address the broader issues of African
social and economic life,’ as one of this fine volume’s
contributors predicts, ‘are bound to fail." Paul Farmer,
Harvard Medical School
"This is a thoroughly excellent book, as good as any on offer on
the current HIV/AIDS epidemic in Africa, and a lot better than most
... This is a book that needs to be read by all those involved in
development planning in Africa - and elsewhere - in NGOs as in
governments, in the field as well as in the 'corridors of power'."
International Development Planning Review
“The new book by Ezekiel Kalipeni et al. is a landmark
among all existing literature addressing the epidemic in Africa.
The volume holds near 25 in-depth chapters providing brilliant
analysis of the epidemic.” Markku Löytönen,
University of Helsinki
"The book is able to cover a vast array of topics that
have been previously neglected in academic discourse ... the
editors have successfully demonstrated thta HIV/AIDS must be
approached in a multidisciplinary fashion in order to understand
and eventually stem the spread of this epidemic ... what is
refreshing in regard to this work is that the editors have taken an
academic and personal approach in their attempts to grasp the
influence of this epidemic ... this book can be called both
humanistic and sincere." Cambridge University Press
"This book is essential reading, as it tackles the critical
arguments...it represents a call to all researchers working with
HIV/AIDS to take account...first book that tackles the
misperceptions...the collection represents a major
contribution."
