Witches, Westerners, and HIV
Uganda
Uganda has the one of the oldest recognised AIDS epidemics. The first people found to be sick with AIDS in 1982 in southwestern Uganda became infected in the mid-1970s. For several years, Uganda has been widely recognised as the first and most dramatic African success story, with estimated national HIV prevalence falling from about 15 per cent in 1992 to 5 per cent in 2001. This is truly good news! As the epidemic proceeds through its third decad…

Mobutu's disease’
The social history of AIDS in the Mobutu era provides a window through which to view the consequences of gender and class inequality. Official and popular responses to this epidemic of fatal sexually transmitted disease reveal the interplay of structure and agency, political economy and culture. While the present crisis of the state and civil war in eastern DRC have pushed gender issues off the political agenda, the prevalence of sexual violence,…

The Real Economy of Zaire
How do people survive in an African country where the economy is a disaster? MacGaffey takes the case of Zaire where the centre is increasingly held by the 'second' or informal economy and proposes that all economies should be assessed to include the activities of the second economy such as smuggling which occur on a large scale throughout the continent. North America: University of Pennsylvania Press
Aids, Sex and condoms
Condoms offer considerable protection against sexual transmission of AIDS. Yet many Africans who are at risk of infection reject condoms as "unnatural." Data from Zaire have been used to examine this culturally constructed category in relation to sexuality, procreation, gender roles, class formation and international health and development policy. Much more than a simple transfer of biomedical technology is involved. Condom use with regular partn…

Women and the State in Africa
Explores women's access to the apparatus of the state in Africa, the consequences of their underrepresentation, and the mechanisms they have evolved to cope with their slim hold on the levers of power
Women, Aids, and Economic Crisis in Central Africa
AIDS, a new lethal communicable disease syndrome, has rapidly developed into a world-wide pandemic affecting some I38 countries, including fortythree in Africa. The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) which causes AIDS is transmitted from infected persons by sexual contact, blood, and vertically from mother to foetus. In Central Africa, where infection occurs primarily as a result of heterosexual intercourse with an infected partner, women tend to…
Primary health care in Zaire
This briefing is based on unpublished research conducted while the author was Chief of the Medical Anthropology Seminar, Centre International de Semiologie, National University of Zaire, 1975–78, and during subsequent brief visits. The term ‘biomedicine’ refers to diagnosis and treatment based on scientific biological research. As practised in Zaire, however, western‐style medicine may involve very little scientific method, and equipment and trai…
Food crisis and class formation in Shaba
This article explores issues of agricultural change as they have been played out in the Lufira Valley in south‐eastern Shaba. It indicates some of the interconnections between peasants, the State and capitalist class interests, showing how measures taken in favour of capitalist enterprise contribute to deepening underdevelopment of the peasantry. It also casts doubt upon the assumption that capitalism — monopoly, state or private — can lead to de…
