Dan Royles, To Make the Wounded Whole
The date 5 June 2021 will mark 40 years since the first AIDS cases were reported in the USA. During that time, social scientists, activists and journalists have described the myriad social, political and scientific dimensions of the epidemic. Many accounts describe the critical role of collective action by patients, relatives and concerned citizens. AIDS activism has had a major impact on the very definition of the disease, policy priorities, the…
Has Volunteering Changed in the United States? Trends, Styles, and Motivations in Historical Perspective
This article considers whether there have been substantial changes in volunteering in the United States. Drawing on an extensive review of historical, ethnographic, and survey data, it focuses on trends, styles, and motivations of volunteers. The article describes how volunteer rates are cyclical and contingent on social and cultural changes, including events that serve as national traumas, such as wars, natural disasters, and the 9/11 attacks. M…
Cancer and Cold War Capitalism
Health policy histories, like Under the Radar[: Cancer and the Cold War by Ellen Leopold], are especially timely during the current debate about how to reform the U.S. health care system. They provide significant insights into the myriad cultural, social, political, and economic forces that have shaped the U.S. health care system. They also guide policy by identifying the challenges that may serve as barriers to enacting needed reforms.This artic…
The Changing Nature of “Faith” in Faith‐Based Organizations
This study discusses the changing meaning of faith in four AIDS organizations in New York City. Although all four organizations continue to honor their religious roots and have a place for spirituality, the original meaning of religion has changed. Two organizations became secularized, and the two others incorporated a highly ecumenical and personalized form of faith that reflects trends in the nature of religion in contemporary American society.…
Redundancy, Third‐Party Government, and Consumer Choice
This article addresses two questions: (a)Why were so many new nonprofit organizations in New York City created to “fight AIDS?” and (b) What are some consequences of this phenomenon? Drawing on redundancy theory as a partial explanation, it also considers the role of racial and ethnic politics and the impact of government contracting on the formation and growth of community‐based organizations. For clients, the effect has been paradoxical: financ…
HIV/Aids as a Chronic Disease
The reframing of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) from an acute to a chronic disease brought about a different focus for public policy. Now viewed as the end stage of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), AIDS has emerged from the plague model. Many biological and social forces affected this change, including an increased understanding of HIV and its associated disease processes, radical shifts in the composition and needs of those af…
Volunteers as Witnesses
In this article, I describe the role of volunteers in the AIDS epidemic in New York City between 1981 and 1988. I provide an overview of the role of volunteers in the development of social policy and the emergence of new service organizations. A broad range of social and cultural factors mobilized volunteers, and one community-based organization, the Gay Men's Health Crisis, played a central role in that mobilization
Welfare Use As Status Attainment
Empirical studies of welfare dependency have highlighted differences between welfare and nonwelfare families in o;der'io explain the reasons for welfare dependency. This study discusses factors associated with welfare use in a sample of 323 adolescent mothers who were at-risk with respect to becoming welfare dependent. The article first identities the factors which distinguish between those who became welfare recipients and those who did not. The…

The Disadvantaged Consumer
Welfare, work, and family structure
Policies aimed at reducing welfare dependency have concentrated on helping heads of families go back to work. This article suggests that work and marriage are both significant in determining movement on and off the welfare rolls and also suggests that income maintenance proposals should include incentives for work and family stability
