The drama of de-orphaning: Botswana's old orphans and the rewriting of kinship relations
Botswana has the world’s highest rate of orphans, primarily as a result of HIV and AIDS.

Sexy Orphans and Sugar Daddies: The Sexual and Moral Politics of Aid for Aids in Botswana

This article examines a shifting relationship between popular narratives about the supposed shortcomings of Tswana "culture" and widely proliferating assertions that Christian love can provide a more successful moral paradigm for the …
