AIDS and Accusation: Unpacking Social Divides

This book could be a good read for people who want to understand how social inequalities such as poverty, racism, and ethnocentrism create a ripple effect in epidemics such as AIDS. It is a thought-provoking analysis of the relationship between social factors and public health outcomes, using the case of AIDS in Haiti as an example. Through his ethnographic study, author Paul Farmer underscores the importance of recognizing the role of systemic inequality in disease spread, which gives readers a much-required global perspective on HIV/AIDS.

Description

Does the scientific "theory" that HIV came to North America from Haiti stem from underlying attitudes of racism and ethnocentrism in the United States rather than from hard evidence? Anthropologist-physician Paul Farmer answers in the affirmative with this, the first full-length ethnographic study of AIDS in a poor society.
