AIDS and the Distribution of Crises

“An exceptionally exciting book, AIDS and the Distribution of Crises is unlike any other collection on HIV/AIDS I have read. This volume makes critically important interventions into our past, present, and future imaginations of HIV/AIDS. It should be widely read and taught.” -- Jennifer Brier, author of * Infectious Ideas: U.S. Political Responses to the AIDS Crisis * “This volume reshapes our critical orientation by insisting on a conception of the AIDS pandemic not as a rarefied historical period or a particular epidemiological tragedy but rather as a space for opening up theoretical and conceptual inquires into the violent consequences caused by the ideological deployment and dissemination of ‘crisis.’ A capacious and compelling rendering of the AIDS pandemic, it offers a potent dwelling space for critical reflection and a powerful provocation into thinking otherwise about AIDS and the world at large.” -- Martin F. Manalansan IV, author of * Global Divas: Filipino Gay Men in the Diaspora * “AIDS and the Dis­tribution of Crises is a curated collection of perspectives and scholarly work on the past, present, and fu­ture of the global AIDS crises. . . . Any of us in the health care field who interact with patients, work in health policy, teach or work with future phy­sicians or learners, or are interested in global health should read this compilation. The writ­ing is illuminating, engaging and eye-opening.” -- Shruti Varadarajan * Family Medicine *
