Comment on ‘Changing relationships between HIV prevalence and circumcision in Lesotho’, and ‘Age-incidence and prevalence of HIV among intact and circumcised men: An analysis of PHIA surveys in Southe…
Two articles by Garenne (2023a,b) argue that voluntary medical male circumcision does not reduce human immunodeficiency virus transmission in Africa. Here we point out key evidence and analytical flaws that call into question this conclusion.

Remembering Murray Bookchin (1921-2006): Dialectical Naturalism
This essay examines Murray Bookchin's dialectical or evolutionary naturalism, the metaphysic that underpins his social ecology, his libertarian socialism, and his ethical naturalism. Using Joel Kovel's suggestion that there were two Bookchins – a dialectical naturalist and promoter of Enlightenment humanism and a polemicist consumed with venom and rage – I outline Bookchin's metaphysics of nature and then turn, in the second part, to Bookchin's c…

Critical Evaluation of Adler’s Challenge to the cdc’s Male Circumcision Recommendations
We evaluate Peter Adler’s challenge to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( cdc ) draft recommendations on male circumcision (this issue, see pp. 237–262 ). The cdc advocates elective male circumcision ( mc ) to improve public health in the usa based on strong scientific evidence. In marked contrast to the cdc , Adler’s criticisms depend on speculative claims and obfuscation of the scientific data. Adler’s central argument that circum…
Male circumcision for protection against HIV infection in sub-Saharan Africa: The evidence in favour justifies the implementation now in progress
This article responds to a recent 'controversy study' in Global Public Health by de Camargo et al. directed at three randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of male circumcision (MC) for HIV prevention. These trials were conducted in three countries in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and published in 2005 and 2007. The RCTs confirmed observational data that had accumulated over the preceding two decades showing that MC reduces by 60% the risk of HIV infecti…
Olivia Records: The Production of a Movement
This article looks at the early years of Olivia Records, setting the context for the historic release of the album Where Would I Be Without You. From its origins as a Washington, D.C.-based activist collective in 1973, Olivia became a hugely successful recording company, marketing radical lesbian recordings and performances that soon defined the "women's music" movement. Both artistically and politically, Olivia's woman-identified albums became t…
Karl Marx: Anthropologist (Respond to this article at http://www.therai.org.uk/at/debate)
Marx was not only a philosopher, but he was very much and anthropologist of his day. Here, the author describes Marx's work in terms of four key concepts, namely, nature, society, history and science, and considers how anthropologists at the time influenced Marx in his thinking

Medicaid Coverage of Newborn Circumcision: A Health Parity Right of the Poor
We applaud Leibowitz et al. for describing the adverse impact on public health of the withdrawal by 16 states of Medicaid coverage for male circumcision.1 However, we are alarmed by a subsequent letter by anticircumcision lobbyists, in which the evidence regarding circumcision is thoroughly misrepresented.2 Their claims flatly contradict the bulk of the legitimate medical literature demonstrating that male circumcision protects against urinary tr…

Negotiating Lesbian Worlds: The Festival Communities
As temporary but annually re-occurring communities, women's music festivals became a profound symbol of late twentieth century lesbian culture. These summer "Wombstocks" made available the best of lesbian music and comedy in presumably safe settings for sexual display, political networking, and Goddess-centered spirituality. Yet such lesbian utopias were never without conflict. They served as sounding boards for every issue simmering in the lesbi…

This article addresses the specific audience created by and receptive to the women's music “sound” and message, and examines some of the backlash and critique concerning the meaning and application of a separatist message. Artists' responses to questions of women-only space and coalition building are included in the analysis of concert and recording …

Sappho Goes Hollywood: Remembering Video Night at Herizon
This essay recalls an evening at a lesbian social club in the mid-1980s just prior to the eventual boom in gay and lesbian film distribution. A popular “video night” served as the occasion for a lecture/presentation by an independent filmmaker who had carefully compiled a history of lesbian film images. This informal introduction to Hollywood lesbophobia, in contrast to our search for positive screen images which reflected our active and healthy …
