HIV/AIDS, Africa's greatest human tragedy for over a century, is an immense challenge to democrats and activists. Can governments survive an epidemic that has cut life expectancy in half, further burdened fragile economies, and created millions of orphans? Why, twenty years into the crisis, are democratic governments performing so poorly in tackling the disease? "AIDS and Africa" argues that existing approaches to the epidemic are driven by interests and frameworks that fail to engage with African resilience and creativity. Already, African communities have confounded some of the worst predictions of disaster.
Industry Reviews
In this book, Alex de Waal does what few have done before him: he moves beyond the assumed polemic, separates ideologically infused doom-saying from the available empirical evidence and bases his conclusions on what we actually know about the impact of AIDS. * Pieter Fourie, University of Johannesburg, in Politikon *
