Aids and the Distribution of Crises

This polyphonic collection of writings on the distribution of the AIDS crises needs to be understood as a response to the framing of global narratives that proclaim the end of the AIDS crisis by 2030. This is a time in the history of the epidemic in which the biomedicalisation of HIV prevention and treatment is more evident than ever. It is also a time when it is possible to witness the contrast between global policies that advocate for community involvement and the scarcity of resources that these communities suffer due to the lack of genuine interest from governments. Under the title 'AIDS and the distribution of crises', this volume looks back at the history of AIDS to draw connections between the present epidemic and the practices of racism, sexism, homo-transphobia, global capitalism and colonialism as engines of perpetuation of the crisis in more marginal groups. In the words of Bishnupriya Gosh, 'this volume is mostly timely in exploring a core concept for historical narration: crisis as an epistemological category that prompts a diagnosis of the past and a blueprint for the future' (p. 69).
