Aids in Africa

This book seeks to clarify the health and social realities in Africa to pose questions and concepts for understanding the problem of AIDS and to provide bibliographic resources needed by instructors and researchers who would take up the AIDS challenge. This volume brings together working papers and resource material from authors in Africa North America and the United Kingdom. The writers are from both academic disciplines and operational organizations concerned with health and development. This diversity is a strength and a limitation. No single thread weaves this collection of papers together and no over-arching theme moves them towards a common conclusion. Rather these are position reports that begin to map the social science policy and health terrains of the disease. They are aimed not so much at the academic research world of African and international affairs but at those who would teach about AIDS in Africa and those African and non-African policy makers who might bring their existing expertise to bear on the problem. In this sense it is a recruiting volume one that is produced in hopes of helping solve the dilemma of HIV/AIDS. (authors modified)
